HOBOKEN: FERRY TERMINAL TO BE RENOVATED The Port Authority
of New York and New Jersey and New Jersey Transit agreed
yesterday to spend $125 million to rebuild six ferry slips
on the Hudson River side of the Hoboken Terminal. The
renovation of the Beaux-Arts terminal, built in 1907, is
intended to accommodate the bustling new ferry service to
and from Lower Manhattan since the Sept. 11 terror attack
destroyed the main PATH station under the World Trade
Center. The reconstruction of the ferry slips will serve
nearly 25,000 daily commuters to three Lower Manhattan
destinations, up from 11,000 commuters traveling to one
destination before the attack. The current slips have not
been used since 1967 when they were closed because of
plummeting ferry ridership.
