City Council says ‘no’ to vehicles damaging Coney Island boardwalk
Weight limitations should protect 'world famous recreation icon'
A bill that curbs vehicle use on all New York City boardwalks — including the famous Riegelmann Boardwalk that stretches along the southern shore of Coney Island from Sea Gate to Brighton Beach — was passed by City Council on Thursday, April 22.
The bill limits the weight of city vehicles that provide maintenance, construction or public safety to city boardwalks to under 2,400 pounds.
In addition, the bill only allows other vehicles on the city’s boardwalks in the case of an emergency.
