Council Member Julie Won and State Sen. Mike Gianaris held a "people's ribbon-cutting" at the Queensboro Bridge to advocate for the opening of the new Pedestrian Path. Completed as part of the former Mayor de Blasio's initiative, the path aims to separate pedestrians and cyclists for safety. Critics argue that currently, they share a narrow lane, a concern emphasized by the officials present. Although there was an anticipation for an official opening, Mayor Adams postponed it, citing a lack of adequate briefing from the Department of Transportation.
"The Queensboro Bridge Pedestrian Path, a long-awaited walkway dedicated to pedestrians crossing the bridge...was first announced in 2021 and dates back to former Mayor Bill de Blasio's Bridges for the People initiative..."
"Critics state that cyclists and pedestrians...are instead forced into a single lane, which raises safety concerns for everyone using the bridge."
