WARWICK – The Providence-to-Newport ferry has been so successful that R.I. Department of Transportation Director Peter Alviti is thinking of extending the service to coastal communities, including a stop at Rocky Point Park.
And while there’s little left to the Rocky Point dock, the Department of Environmental Management is in the design phase of a fishing pier, which could also be used for transient boating and a ferry at Rocky Point, the Warwick Beacon reported Aug. 4.

As Alviti imagines it, the ferry could open coastal communities to visitors and provide a desirable, alternate means of transportation. His list of possible ferry stops also includes East Greenwich, Wickford (in North Kingstown), Jamestown and Bristol. •
