OPINION: It’s time for a foot/bike path on Verrazano Bridge
A dedication was held on Nov. 21, 1964, to open the Verrazano Bridge to the public.
That day, a group of people spoke out that the bridge should have a walkway. One carried a sign that read, “Are Feet Obsolete?”
Robert Moses, then the head of the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, didn’t want a pedestrian/ bicycle path.
