RT 22 BIKE-PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
The long-awaited bike-pedestrian bridge across Route 22 is now open! What do you think?

I love it! It's much needed for the safety of folks to link the trails and access both sides of that busy highway.

Not enough people will use it to have an effect on safety.
It will not be maintained and will fall into disuse rather quickly.
