North ferry terminal facility reconstruction

The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration awarded a $5,365,834 Project Grant to the New York Department of Transportation under the Highway Planning and Construction federal grant program (CFDA 20.205) on September 9, 2022. The grant funding will support the Village of Greenport's project to reconstruct its existing North Ferry Terminal facility at the terminus of Third Street. The reconstruction aims to provide access to both a Long Island Rail Road station and a commercial bus drop-off/pickup location. Specifically, the project will add a multi-lane approach to replace the current single lane access and redirect vehicle queues from residential streets to the ferry terminal property. It will also include enhanced parking, pedestrian access via new sidewalks and upgraded lighting, and aesthetic and site improvements to the existing intermodal facility. The focus is on improving commuter and pedestrian traffic flow in the Village of Greenport in Suffolk County, New York.
