There is also a petition going around to get the New York Water Taxi to increase transportation to Wall St. I have also read they are working on commuters using the Metrocard. The question is , as a new professional Red Hook resident, when? Until then, it's the B61 to Borough Hall to another 1/2 hour train ride to Times Square. I am glad that Coffey St. between Conover and Ferris is rated #8 as one of the best streets in the city, but living on Coffey St, between Conover and Van Brunt St., is horrendous with the commercial traffic coming through. The commercial traffic really needs to stop as new residents are moving in now, the street is really narrow and the cobblestones will completely be destroyed. The traffic needs to be redirected by the city to go up to Reed St. which is the street that Fairway is on. That is a commercial traffic street. Plus, the B77 comes down Coffey St. which is ridiculus because no one is ever on it, EVER, and that bus also needs to get redirected to Reed St.
