FERRY WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN CITY COUNCIL BUDGET

June 26, 2014 By Bianca Fortis

On Thursday Councilman Eric Ulrich released a statement regarding the Rockaway ferry:

“Despite the Council’s best efforts, the de Blasio Administration has decided not to include 

any  funding for the Rockaway Ferry subsidy in this year’s budget. 

While I am pleased that we will be adopting yet another on-time, 

balanced budget without raising taxes, I am extremely 

disappointed that ferry service may end in October. 

The fight is not over and I am committed

to working with all my fellow elected officials to put pressure on the Mayor 

to keep this vital  lifeline going.”
