"The project targets the cramped landing where cyclists and pedestrians currently tangle near Centre Street and Park Row, a daily headache for commuters and tourists."
"According to the NYC Department of Transportation presentation, the plan shifts cyclists off the bridge promenade and into a barrier-protected two-way bike lane along Centre Street and Park Row."
"DOT's materials also call for vertical barriers and clearer signage, along with moving authorized-vehicle parking to nearby blocks to preserve emergency access."
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani is expediting the construction of a dedicated bike lane and a separate pedestrian entrance at the Brooklyn Bridge. The project aims to alleviate congestion at the busy landing near Centre Street and Park Row. Construction is set to begin in April, with a completion target of June, coinciding with the FIFA World Cup. The plan includes a barrier-protected bike lane and improved signage to enhance safety and accessibility for both cyclists and pedestrians.
