North ferry terminal facility reconstruction

The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration awarded a $1,348,763 Project Grant on August 20, 2024 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to the New York Department of Transportation. The grant will fund the reconstruction of the North Ferry Terminal Facility in the Village of Greenport, Suffolk County, New York. Key project components include adding a multi-lane approach to the ferry terminal to alleviate vehicle queuing on residential streets, enhancing parking and pedestrian access with new sidewalks and lighting, and making aesthetic and site improvements to this intermodal transportation facility. The project aims to improve commuter and pedestrian access by providing connections to both a Long Island Railroad station and a commercial bus drop-off/pick-up location.
