— which comes from a consortium of engineers led by transit consultant and former New York City traffic commissioner Sam Schwartz — calls for New York to construct a new bike- and pedestrian-only bridge connecting Long Island City in Queens to Midtown Manhattan. It would be the first new bridge to the city's central business district in more than a century.
"The Queens Ribbon will offer tremendous value in so many ways – from an environmental perspective, an aesthetic perspective, and a health perspective," Dr. Michael Horodniceanu, a professor of engineering at New York University involved in the proposal, said in a press release. City officials, for their part, told Business Insider they will review the proposal and said that they have made cycling and mobility a priority. "We appreciate the engineers' hard work in crafting a proposal to reimagine mobility in our city – especially on our East River Bridges, which are more than 100 years old and not easy to retrofit," a spokesperson for the mayor's office said in an email.
Why can’t it be both? Like the Brooklyn Bridge. Cars below and pedestrians and bikers up top. Always good to have more ways for cars/emergency vehicles to cross water in emergencies if needed. Seems silly to build a massive bridge and not let cars use it in some form as well.
This would be awesome!!!! Love the idea. Love MANHATTAN! 🍎BigApple PedestrianBridge CarFreeBridge NYC
This would be better than handing trillions of dollars to Wall Street.
This would be fantastic. I suggested this between Manhattan and Jersey City or Hoboken but it seemed very unlikely. I hope it happens. StevenFulop
