Verrazano Bridge bike path supporters push for Sunday access
Now that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has decided to take a serious look at building a bike-pedestrian path on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, two groups advocating for the walkway are pushing the agency to open the Brooklyn-Staten Island span to bike riders and walkers on Sundays.
Leaders of Transportation Alternatives and the Harbor Ring Committee are calling for the creation of “Summer Sundays,” a program that would allow those on bikes or on foot to cross the bridge on Sundays during the warm weather.
