Describe the challenge you want to address:
Bronx Terminal used to have a ferry terminal (hence the name) but no longer does. The East River ferry from Soundview skips right past Bronx Terminal. The Bronx Terminal Market Mall is a good mall but it is hard to get to without a car. There are also many new apartments being developed right nearby, but it's a long walk to the subway from these new apartments.
What is the solution to the challenge?
Being that there used to be a ferry terminal, it would be possible to add a stop to the East River Ferry. Many people might come shopping at The Bronx Terminal Market Mall if it was easy and fun to get to it, but as of now there is no nearby Subway. There are also many new buildings being built right nearby, adding a ferry terminal would make the area more attractive for people to come live in The Bronx. And it would serve those of us who live here already but have a long walk to the subway. Yankees fans would also find the ferry a fun and useful way of getting to the game. And children who live in the area would have more opportunities to see this great city, but that right now they barely even see from The Bronx.
