The postponement is due to the upcoming sale and future construction of Garvies Point. The City believes it is important to accommodate to the accelerated construction schedule.
A time frame for when the ferry service will take place is underway, Deputy Mayor Barbara Peebles said. The City first needs to wait for road access and parking matters to be resolved so ferry operators have more time for expansion planning.

In the meantime, the City will explore options for the productive use of the Ferry Terminal building. For more information and updates, visit the Glen Cove Ferry website.
Editor's Note: The construction on the Ferry Terminal building has been completed for a few months now and this announcement was in respect to the shifting of the timeline for a Ferry Service. Patch apologizes for the error.
