The Canarsie Improvement Association has collected more than 6,000 signatures from locals since 2017, yet advocates say they still haven’t captured City Hall's attention.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Advocates and community members living in Canarsie, Brooklyn rallied Sunday afternoon to urge Mayor Eric Adams to bring ferry service to the residential neighborhood., Adams, then serving as Brooklyn borough president, said it was time to fully utilize the ferry system to be accessible to southern Brooklyn neighborhoods including Canarsie, in an effort to improve transit equity.
“You have a system that brings New Yorkers around the city in a fast and eco-friendly way. You have a working class Black community that’s yearning for more options to get around,” Jalloh said. “So why not put these two problems and create a solution?” Kashif Hussain, deputy public advocate for infrastructure and environmental justice, echoed that sentiment on Sunday.
Adrien Lesser, a spokesperson for the mayor’s office, said the ferry service is an important transit option and that City Hall welcomes advocacy.
