Right on, Juanita! A ferry stop on City Island has the opportunity to bring new people from our beautiful borough and beyond!

We agree with Donald!

A ferry stop on City Island is enormously popular among middle aged and younger residents. These are folks who have to travel for work, pay taxes and want to take advantage of all that our City had to offer.

It’s time for the next generation to be heard. If we don’t listen, we’ll continue to lose them. ⛴️

Jacqueline is right, City Islanders deserve the same fast transit options other communities have. You shouldn’t need to own a car to be able to access a ferry stop, let’s continue our push for fair transit options for our community.

Tom’s right, the fact that the “Seaport of the Bronx” doesn’t have a ferry goes against the very nautical character so many value about our community.

City Island deserves so much better- quicker commutes, more foot traffic, effective transportation, and an improving quality of life.

Roxana is right- lets substantially reduce the commutes of our neighbors and families!
