NYC Ferry Landings Engineering
McLaren Engineering Group designed 14 new ferry landings and renovated four additional ferry landings, for the New York City Economic Development Corporation’s (NYCEDC) initiative to expand its NYC Ferry service. The unified ferry system connects Manhattan with Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and in 2021 Staten Island – creating an affordable, efficient way to link city residents and commuters by water. This major advancement to the City’s infrastructure has provided a much-needed upgrade to New York’s mass transit needs and increased overall connectivity in isolated neighborhoods, offering New Yorkers direct connections to many of the City’s open spaces. The opportunity for residents to better connect to jobs and economic opportunities throughout the city can bring a positive economic impact to those areas.
McLaren’s scope of work included design, planning, coordination, permitting, procurement and construction administration. New landings around NYC include Astoria, Atlantic Ave / Brooklyn Bridge Park, Bay Ridge, Coney Island Creek, Corlears Hook / Grand St, East 90th St, Long Island City North, Red Hook / Atlantic Basin, Rockaway, Roosevelt Island, Soundview, Staten Island, Stuyvesant Cove / East 20th St and Throgs Neck. Renovated landings include 34th Street, Fulton Landing / Dumbo, Pier 11 and S. Williamsburg / Schaefer Landing.
