PLANNING FOR THE PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLIST: NEW YORK'S WATERBORNE TRANSPORTATION SERVICE

New York city is planning a major re-emphasis of the usage of waterborne passenger transportation for both commuter and recreation services. Waterborne service presents many cost savings in both capital construction and operations over land-based modes such as bus and rail transit. The planning and design of waterborne transportation terminal facilities have changed a lot recently. More and more emphasis is laid now on pedestrian and cyclist facilities. /TRRL/
