The city’s Economic Development Corporation announced that NYC Ferry routes will expand starting on December 8.

Happening off-Campus: The Supreme Court rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision in the court’s 2015 ruling in Obergefell v Hodges that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The justices turned away an appeal from Kim Davis, the former Kentucky court clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Davis has been trying to get the court to overturn a lower-court order for her to pay $360,000 in damages and attorney’s fees to a couple denied a marriage license. (AP News)

Happening near Campus: The city Economic Development Corporation announced that NYC Ferry riders will get direct boat rides between the Bronx and Rockaway, as well as Staten Island and Brooklyn, starting next month. The new routes will take effect on December 8. Brooklyn and Staten Island politicians have called for a ferry connection between the two boroughs for years because it would provide a mass transit alternative to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. The EDC is also making changes to the ferry’s East River routes, which will make ferry service more efficient, offer shorter commuter times, and provide passengers with more places to go. They are also looking at different sites of potential interest in the future to bring ferry service, including in Canarsie, Chelsea, Far Rockaway, and JFK and LaGuardia airports. (Gothamist)
