""Since taking office, our administration has been guided by a simple promise: streets that are safe and accessible for every New Yorker. Whether you're driving, walking, or biking across the Brooklyn Bridge, you deserve to get where you're going with ease and without fear.""
""This new design will better protect cyclists and pedestrians as we prepare to welcome the world for the FIFA World Cup - and show that our streets truly reflect the best of New York City.""
""Fixing the pedestrian/cyclist conflict addresses the one oversight of the city's original effort to install a protected bike lane on the Brooklyn Bridge roadway in 2021.""
""The bike lane was an immediate hit when it was installed and remains popular: There were 2,652 daily bike rides in 2021 on the span by 2025 the number of daily bike rides doubled to 5,625, according to city figures.""
Mayor Mamdani's Department of Transportation will implement a 2024 plan to create a new bike lane and pedestrian entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge. The project aims to improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians, allowing easier access from Centre Street/Park Row. Construction will start in April, with completion expected before the FIFA World Cup. The redesign addresses previous conflicts between cyclists and pedestrians and builds on the success of the existing bike lane, which saw a significant increase in daily bike rides from 2021 to 2025.
