Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson, and New York City Council Members Carmen de la Rosa and Althea Stevens are seeking upgrades for the Washington Bridge, amNewYork Metro has exclusively learned.
The politicians are calling for a host of improvements to be made to the 133-year-old bridge in order to bring it up-to-date and make it safer for users. The request comes through a joint letter to the Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez obtained by amNewYork Metro in which the electeds are pursuing the creation of a two-way protected bike lane, widening the pedestrian path, improving lighting, installing safety cameras, and more.
This comes after several enhancements have already been made on the bridge, including the installation of the 181st Street busway in Manhattan, bus lanes and protected bike lanes on University Ave in the Bronx, as well as center-running bus lanes and protected bike lanes on Edward L Grant Highway in the Bronx. Both Borough Presidents applauded these strides adding that with these projects more than 68,000 daily pre-COVID bus riders were able to utilize these routes.
