Wheels in motion to add bike lane to bridge
Elected officials have introduced legislation that could put a bike lane on the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
The bill, introduced March 9 by State Sen. Alessandra Biaggi and Assemblymember Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas of Queens, would establish an advisory committee tasked with creating a strategic pain, in consultation with the MTA, to promote cycling and pedestrian access on MTA bridges and stations.
Advocacy group Bike South Brooklyn has long hoped for the idea to come to pass and its members are happy about the news.
