NEW YORK CITY—New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio presided over the beginning of construction of a new NYC ferry dock landing on the Lower East Side on Wednesday. A total of two new “Fast Ferry” routes to Wall Street and Midtown will launch service this summer for Lower East Side and South Bronx commuters.

City officials say the two new ferry routes will have the potential to serve more than 1.4 million riders a year. Last year, the NYC Ferry system launched four routes, the Rockaway, Astoria and South Brooklyn and East River routes. The four routes served nearly three million riders, surpassing initial projections by 34% or by approximately 800,000 riders in less than a year.
