The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has announced the completion of new biking, pedestrian, and micromobility paths on several major bridges in New York City. This initiative aims to improve accessibility and expand transit options for users, particularly in underserved areas. MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber pointed out the surge in bike and scooter usage, noting that this development could help connect communities lacking nearby train stations. The projects include ADA compliant paths on the RFK, Henry Hudson, and Cross Bay Bridges, significantly enhancing network connectivity and walking paths across boroughs.
The MTA replaced pedestrian-only paths on the RFK Manhattan and Bronx spans with new bike/pedestrian paths fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
