Honestly, just put a dude there with a zodiac and ferry people across for $5.

Damn this is way more effective cuz I was originally thinking old Italian guy with a gondola.

Wr already have the Italians. We just gotta get them a gondola. We're halfway there.

This reminds of of those Perillo Tours Taste of Italy commercials from the ‘80s

Ah the Perillo tours. I loved those commercials

Same, that’s some childhood nostalgia right there. SNL parodied one of their commercials a few years ago, enjoy it if you haven’t already seen it.

Ha, this actually sounds more fun than the ferry and water taxi service that currently runs this route.

The liberty landing ferry used to go twice an hour for $1. After covid they haven't been running on weekends, and now are only once an hour during weekdays.

And now they are $2

You're absolutely correct, but miss the point that all the people who propose these pedestrian & bike bridges and tunnels want them to be 'free', ie paid for by other people.

There kind of is?

There is a ferry there already. A footbridge is a much, much, much, much better option than a ferry.
