Brooklyn drivers may soon get a Verrazzano discount
State Sen. Andrew Gounardes’ proposal to give Brooklyn motorists a big break on the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge tolls is one step closer to becoming reality. On Thursday, the State Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill Gounardes sponsored by a vote of 55-2.
“It’s really fantastic,” Gounardes said on Thursday afternoon a few hours after the vote took place. “Now we have to make sure it passes in the Assembly so we can put pressure on the MTA to put money in the budget for it.”
Assemblymember Mathylde Frontus is sponsoring the bill in the State Assembly.
