For a fraction of the time it will take to plan, design and build a new rail tunnel additional ferry service between New Jersey and Manhattan can be operational. Very importantly, ferries provide the type of redundancy that is necessary during interruptions in rail and road travel.
A ferry terminal can serve as the center for a transit village. The fact that a ferry terminal can serve as a redevelopment catalyst for underdeveloped or brownfields properties has been acknowledged by several municipalities and regional planning organizations.
William J. Wolf of Bathgate Wegener & Wolf, P.C. has been retained by the Borough of Carteret in Middlesex County to represent it in initiating ferry service between Carteret and Manhattan. Because Carteret controls a significant portion of its waterfront, it is uniquely situated to provide ferry service as a viable alternative to rail and highway access to Manhattan not only to its residents but to travelers who would otherwise commute by car, train or bus. It is anticipated that ferry service will act as a catalyst for the redevelopment of the Carteret waterfront.
The Carteret ferry project is only one of several municipal infrastructure and redevelopment projects that Mr. Wolf has been retained to handle. In addition to the ferry project, Mr. Wolf is currently working on a municipal marina, airport and commercial redevelopment projects in Middlesex County and Monmouth County.
Mr. Wolf is a Senior Fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America, he has been designated as a Super Lawyer and AV Preeminent® for many years and he was selected to be listed in the Best Attorneys of America. Mr. Wolf has been certified, by the American Institute of Appellate Practice, as an appellate specialist.
