Abreu says ferry can fill transit gaps, support housing density, and strengthen commercial corridors; West Harlem has waterfront infrastructure.

Shaun Abreu

For many waterfront communities, ferry service has the potential to fill much-needed gaps in transportation, especially where access to the subway system is limited.

Shaun Abreu

It would allow for additional means of accessible transit, support additional housing density, and strengthen local commercial corridors.

Shaun Abreu

That is why I introduced introduction number 1022 to establish regular ferry service at or near West 125th Street.

Shaun Abreu

West Harlem already has waterfront infrastructure and connections to the surrounding transportation network that could be leveraged to better connect this community.

Shaun Abreu

to the rest of the city.
