NYC Ferry Route to Coney Island Under Consideration
The NYC Economic Development Corporation (EDC) is exploring the possibility of adding a ferry route to Coney Island.
EDC previously proposed route changes, including service from Bay Ridge to Staten Island, and is now assessing the feasibility of a Coney Island route.
As NYCEDC continues to explore expanded ferry service across New York Harbor, we are placing a buoy off Steeplechase Pier on Coney Island to collect data about nearby wind and wave conditions and to assess the feasibility of providing service to Coney Island Beach.
The EDC is collecting data on wind and wave conditions to determine if a ferry route to Coney Island is viable.
Author summary: EDC considers Coney Island ferry route.
