Bay Ridge Big Bing Theory hits a snag
Verizon may have debunked the popular fan theory behind the source of the elusive Bay Ridge “bing.”
While some community members this week pegged the culprit to be a Verizon-sanctioned liftboat in the waters of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, The Gothamist on Nov. 21 noted a potential “wrinkle” in the timeline.
The company told the publication that the liftboat’s work (which is to see if it can expand fiber-optic services like FIOS in Brooklyn and Staten Island) began just last week on the Staten Island side of the bridge, and only made its way to Brooklyn this past Saturday.
