All stories about "Planyc 2030"

It's official: a new ferry route operated by New York Water Taxi is starting up on May 12 and will operate from Far Rockaway to Lower Manhattan. The ferry will go from Riis Landing in Far Rockaway to the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park to Pier 11 on South Street. The other news is that East River Water Taxi service from Pier 11 and 34th Street to Long Island City and South Williamsburg will be re-launched in July and that Schaefer Landing is getting a new $1.25M publicly-funded dock. (Good thing they never took down the Water Taxi vid from Schaefer Landing website.) "Expanded" East River ferry service is promised in two years. The Sunset Park service was cut last year and the East River service was suspended. There is also discussion about ferry service to Bay Ridge, Greenpoint, Coney Island, City Island as well as additional Williamsburg service. Ikea is getting a Water Taxi stop when it opens in June in Red Hook.

Did you think former Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Dan Doctoroff had gone off to a life in the private sector? Not exactly. Yesterday, Mr. Doctoroff was cleared by the city's Conflicts of Interest Board to remain involved in a number of projects on which he'd worked as Deputy Mayor. What's fascinating about a Times story on the subject, however, is the number of things in which Mr. Doctoroff is still involved: Hudson River Park, Governors Island, Moynihan Station and the Queens West projects. Plus, that little endeavor know as PlaNYC 2030. Of all this, the Times writes that "Mr. Doctoroff may have left City Hall, but he remains a participant in — and has a big influence over — what is going to be built." The list of Doctoroff projects and involvements in so long that "even some who serve on boards with him have expressed confusion about his roles" and in January a How to Deal with the Doctor Memo went out.
