Verrazano Bridge to cost Brooklynites $17 starting this Sunday
Brooklynites are counting down the days until yet another toll hike hits, and one local pol is not doing so quietly.
Councilmember Vincent Gentile — who represents Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights as well as parts of Bensonhurst and Bath Beach — took to YouTube on Tuesday, March 14, a day, he said, he knew residents wouldn’t be out driving due to Winter Storm Stella, to express his concerns.
“We Brooklynites will have to pay as much as $17 to cross the Verrazano starting this Sunday, March 19,” said the pol. “$17.”
