      Council Member Selvena Brooks-Powers engages in a Q&A session with Wayne Richards about the economic impact of the ferry service on local businesses in the Rockaway Peninsula.

      • Richards explains that businesses near the ferry stop on the west end ('uptown') benefit from increased foot traffic and visitors.
      • He notes that the eastern end of the peninsula does not currently see similar benefits from the ferry service.
      • Brooks-Powers thanks Richards for his insights on the disparity in economic impact between different areas of the peninsula.
