As the Brooklyn Marine Terminal (BMT) prepares for significant redevelopment, transit advocates emphasize the necessity of enhancing transportation options in the area. The Riders Alliance has formally requested the NYC Economic Development Corporation to prioritize better transit solutions for Red Hook, known for its isolation due to limited subway access and proximity to industrial zones. With the BMT's historical significance and the local public housing developments, leaders argue that this redevelopment should improve access and quality of life for residents and help address broader housing issues in NYC.
"The Brooklyn Marine Terminal project should be seen as an opportunity to improve access, safety and quality of life for thousands of existing residents as well as address citywide and regional housing challenges."
"Red Hook is also home to the Red Hook Houses, the largest public housing development in Brooklyn, where thousands of very low-income New Yorkers live and have an especially compelling need for access to basic services and opportunities."
