‘ARE YOU
LISTENING?’
Coney Island residents voice concerns
over city’s proposed ferry landings
NOT-SO-SMOOTH SAILING: Coney Island residents voiced their complaints about the proposed ferry
locations to city offi cials. City of New York
BY ROSE ADAMS
The tide was high at a Coney
Island meeting on June 11,
in which city offi cials presented
their plans to examine
the proposed landing locations
of the Coney Island
ferry, scheduled to set sail
in 2021.
The NYC Economic Development
Corporation
— the quasi government
agency overseeing the ferry
system — has set its sights
on two potential landing
spots on Coney Island Creek,
one on 31st Street and Bayview
Avenue, and another
on 29th Street and Neptune
Avenue.
The ferry will stop at Bay
Ridge, and Wall Street as
well, shaving about 30 minutes
off the Coney Island-
Manhattan commute, according
to the NYC Ferry
website.
But many Coney Islanders
voiced their concerns
about the proposed landing
locations the meeting. After
city offi cials presented their
plans to study the environmental
impact of construction
and dredging, community
members pushed back,
arguing that offi cials should
choose a new landing site.
“You need to put your
shoes on and take a little
walkie,” said Wanda Feliciano,
a member of Community
Board 13. Like many
Coney Islanders, Feliciano
is worried about the residential
location of the proposed
stops, arguing that
the infl ux of riders will overwhelm
the West End’s small,
remote community.
Other locals claimed that
the proposed landings are
too far from public transportation,
and fretted about
safety in the area, given the
neighborhood’s two schools.
Attendees also raised concerns
about the environmental
impact of building
the landings.
“This site qualifi es as
a Superfund site,” said Ida
Sanoff, a local environmentalist.
The process of dredging,
she argued, would resuspend
the canal’s contaminated
sediment — including
unexploded ordinances
— posing health risks to locals
who swim or fi sh in the
canal.
“Strange things happen
when dredging happens
around here,” she warned.
Ultimately, some residents
questioned whether
the ferry will benefi t local
Coney Islanders, arguing
that tourists may dominate
the service, taking advantage
of tax payer dollars. After
all, the ferry line carries
a hefty price tag: according
to the Citizens Budget Commission,
a nonpartisan,
nonprofi t organization, each
ferry ticket will require a
$24.75 subsidy from the city.
But most attendees remained
excited about the
new ferry route, and limited
their criticisms to what they
perceived as the NYCEDC’s
aloofness.
“Are you listening?”
asked Selena Grant, a Community
Board member who
argued that residents had
already aired their doubts.
“You need to listen because
ultimately, we live here.”
