PSC Reinstates Red Hook Ferry Schedule, OKs LEAC Increase
Source staff
December 18, 2009
In testimony before the PSC board Wednesday evening, both Varlack Ventures and Transportation Services agreed to revert to the regular Red Hook-Cruz Bay ferry schedule. In fact, although the PSC had granted their request to reduce the number of trips, Delrise Varlack informed board members that they had not changed the ferry schedule and were still running all of the scheduled trips.
Following the Public Services Commission’s decision weeks ago to allow the ferry companies to reduce ferry runs between Red Hook and Cruz Bay, PSC board Chair Joseph Boschulte was besieged by calls and e-mails from concerned members of the community. Therefore, the ferry companies were asked by the PSC to reconsider.
Board members heard brief testimony from Monique Sibilly-Hodge, speaking on behalf of the V.I. Department of Tourism,Don Porter on behalf of the St. John Chamber of Commerce, and Lorelei Monsanto on behalf of the St. John Unity Day Group, along with a few St. John residents—all concerned about the effect the reduced schedule will have on the St. John economy.
All who spoke were grateful for the ferry companies agreement to keep the Red Hook-Cruz Bay schedule as is, but also implored the ferries to consider reinstating the runs from Cruz Bay to downtown Charlotte Amalie and vice versa.
