NEW YORK (WABC) — Community organizers and local politicians rallied at the Yankee Stadium ferry dock in the Bronx, calling for expanded public access to the service and greater investment in waterfront transportation options.<\/p>\n

Speakers at the rally said it is unfair that the ferry dock is used only to transport fans to and from games. They argued that the West Bronx is a transportation desert and that residents of the surrounding neighborhood should also have access to the ferry service.<\/p>\n

The group also called for what they described as equal treatment along the entire Harlem waterfront.<\/p>\n

“We want to call on the city to provide us a ferry, to provide us a multi-use stop, and to finally give us a goal that we have been fighting for, for over four decades now and that is a Harlem waterfront greenway,” an advocate said.<\/p>\n

A request for comment was sent to the mayor’s office. A response had not been received.<\/p>\n
