Sag Harbor Green Lights Ferry Service Law

Law allows for a pedestrian ferry service pilot program connecting the villages of Sag Harbor and Greenport.

In a 4-1 vote Tuesday, the Sag Harbor Village Board approved legislation to permit a ferry service to operate from now through October 31 linking Sag Harbor and Greenport, reports.

The law accomodates President Geoffrey Lynch and Response Marine principal Jim Ryan's plans for the Peconic Bay Water Jitney, a seasonal passenger ferry service. They must still apply for a permit, according to The Express.

After studying the impact on the village that the ferry has this summer, the Sag Harbor Village Board will decide whether to permit ferries again in the future.
