Plan to turn Bridge Plaza into a rail terminal sparks shuttle proposal
Bridge Commissioner Lindenthal unveils a plan to let Brooklyn Rapid Transit lay four loops on the Bridge Plaza as part of a circulating shuttle experiment. The plaza, bought from the BRT, would become a temporary rail terminal, with tracks owned by the city after installation. Brackenridge and Greatsinger weigh the cost and feasibility, while public input is sought via new bridge-end survey boxes to decide future ferry versus bridge service.
