""Separating bike and pedestrian traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge has been an unmitigated success. But cyclists and pedestrians are still forced to navigate around each other as they enter and exit the bridge in Manhattan. This redesign will build on the success of the bridge's protected bike lane and greatly improve the experience for pedestrians and cyclists visiting the Brooklyn Bridge.""
""The end project will create a neater, more intuitive flow—and ideally one with less dodging, fewer near-misses and minimal chaos. The redesign will also double the width of the southern crosswalk connecting the bridge to City Hall Park, giving pedestrians more breathing room close to the street.""
The Brooklyn Bridge's Manhattan entrance will undergo a redesign starting this spring, aimed for completion by June. This project will create separate entrances for cyclists and pedestrians, addressing a significant bottleneck. Currently, nearly 30,000 pedestrians and over 5,600 cyclists cross the bridge daily. The redesign will also widen the southern crosswalk to enhance pedestrian safety and flow. The goal is to reduce congestion and improve the overall experience for visitors during the World Cup.
