"NYC Ferry will be formally adopting a new route map - connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn and extending southern Brooklyn service to Manhattan, among other changes - while also planning to expand ferry service to East Harlem. The route changes, first proposed this summer, are expected to go into effect Dec. 8. The new map will combine the Soundview and Rockaway routes, creating one uninterrupted ferry ride from Rockaway to Throgs Neck."
"The St. George route, which currently connects Manhattan's West Side to Staten Island, will now extend to Brooklyn and end its run at Wall St. The new map shifts the southern Brooklyn route northward, adding a stop at the E. 34th St. landing in Midtown Manhattan, but taking away service to Sunset Park and Bay Ridge on that route. As a trial run, NYC Ferry will restore service to those two southernmost landings during summer weekends in 2026."
NYC Ferry will adopt a new route map effective Dec. 8 that reconfigures several routes and adds new landings. The Soundview and Rockaway routes will be combined into one continuous ride from Rockaway to Throgs Neck. The St. George route will extend to Brooklyn and terminate at Wall St., altering the Staten Island-Manhattan connection. The southern Brooklyn route will shift north to add an E. 34th St. Midtown stop while removing Sunset Park and Bay Ridge service, with weekend summer restoration as a 2026 trial. Peak East River service will split into two skip-stop patterns, and EDC plans new landings at 125th St. and Sunset Park plus E. 34th St. expansion.
