Q&A

Abreu asks about current boat service at West Harlem Piers

New York City Council · Oct 20, 2026 · starts 1:06:10 · 47 sec

Fredrickson says West Harlem Piers is in the public piers program; operators apply through DOC NYC; EDC will get back on usage specifics.

James Wong

Thank you, Councilman.

Shaun Abreu

How did EDC make the determination of what kind of boat service to allow at the West Harlem piers?

James Wong

The existing facility is managed by DOC NYC, so I'll turn to Anton to speak to that.

Shaun Abreu

Thank you.

Anton Fredrickson

So West Harlem Piers is part of the public piers program, and there are vessels who are interested in berthing there or landing there can apply through DOC NYC and get a below market rate there.

Shaun Abreu

What kind of boat service is currently allowed at the West Harlem piers and approximately how many boats per day use the piers and approximately how many passengers per year are using the pier?

Anton Fredrickson

I'd have to get back to you on the specifics on usage there.

Shaun Abreu

Please get us those specifics.
