Council Member Brooks-Powers inquires about the possibility of including ferry service studies in future EDC project developments, particularly for Willets Point. James Wong from EDC explains their approach to studying ferry service for Willets Point.
- EDC plans to study the costs and potential ridership development for ferry service to Willets Point.
- The study will be considered in the context of the broader ferry system.
- The study is not currently tied to any specific actions related to the Willets Point development.

Also, looking at Willie's point, In your testimony, you mentioned you would be examining the possibility of a ferry to Willett's point as a part of the redevelopment project there.

I think that broadly what we want to be doing with Willett's point in terms of studying for ferry services, understanding what the costs would be for something like that, what the potential for ridership development are is and understanding that in the context of the broader system.

We haven't tied that study to any specific actions related to the World's Point development for additional development.
