Lee asks about $38M for reconstructing the 34th Street ferry landing. Peck confirms it's critical for safety and capacity, with construction staged to minimize disruption and the stop remaining open.

Linda Lee

And onto the ferries.

Linda Lee

We see there's an additional $38 million across FY29 to 2031 to support reconstruction of the 34th Street ferry landing.

Linda Lee

Is that considered critical to improving safety for passenger operators?

Linda Lee

Is that correct?

Jeanne Peck

Yes, the 34th Street landing has always been a popular landing, and it's been very crowded in terms of queuing and sort of safety and accommodation.

Jeanne Peck

Also, our recent ferry optimization has increased the way we've optimized the way the boats go from station to station,

Jeanne Peck

has increased the need for greater capacity at that site.

Jeanne Peck

So that's what we'll be addressing.

Linda Lee

Do you know the scope of the work and the timeline for the reconstruction?
