Hearings address feasibility of Sound ferry service.

The article reports on a pair of hearings that will provide an opportunity for business owners and others to comment on the proposals of the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) to develop privately run ferry service routes. The hearings will take place in Bridgeport and in Port Jefferson. The plan would be beneficial for New York City residents and other surrounding communities. The Greater Bridgeport Regional Planning Agency and the South Western Regional Planning Agency teamed with NYMTC to develop a report on several ferry service options.
