It's really hazardous how narrow the new Brooklyn Bridge bike lane is when you get a flat in the middle of the bridge like I just did, NYC DOT bridges4people NYC Mayor's Office There's not space to walk the bike to somewhere safe to fix it alongside two-way bike travel.

ICYMI: Tomorrow is the big day! Our NYC DOT will officially open separate lanes for bicyclists and pedestrians on the Queensboro Bridge. This is part of an overall effort to boost safety for all New Yorkers: amny.com/nyc-transit/cy…

We did it! Many years of activism came to fruition today as the #MoreSpaceQBB south outer roadway was finally repurposed as a pedestrian-only path. People can now walk and jog across safely. You can even walk side-by-side!!

I am so excited by this. I used to commute daily on this bike path and I saw some grisly collisions. Everyone deserves space for safe passage and each new pedestrian or cycling path is a major win for the entire city.

Long time coming! Congrats to cmjuliewon.bsky.social on this major win for her district! One of my first tours as chair to the Committee on #Transportation & #Infrastructure was to this district. Several letters & hearings later, cyclists and pedestrians will now enjoy the Q-Boro bridge! 🎉

Can't get enough of these views from the new Queensboro Bridge south outer roadway pedestrian path. New Yorkers: a new jewel has arrived!

The Queensboro Bridge finally has enough space for both pedestrians and bicyclists! We fought for years to make this happen. As of yesterday, the South Outer Walkway is open — just in time for this gorgeous weather. Gothamist coverage of our celebratory march:

Bridges! 👏 For! 👏 People! 👏 bridges4people "The redesign makes the Queensboro the third city span to separate cyclists and pedestrians in recent years, following the Brooklyn Bridge in 2021 and the Washington Bridge over the Harlem River in 2024." gothamist.com/news/new-queen…
