From a distance, the Brooklyn Bridge is a serene and elegant necklace spanning the East River.

But those who cross the bridge on the narrow path - shared by pedestrians and cyclists - say it's the scene of a daily turf war.

Bike and Pedestrian Advocates Applaud City's Effective and Safe Signs on Brooklyn Bridge (finally)

Department of Transportation
For three months the Department of Transportation has ignored requests to post signs clarifying which side of the Brooklyn Bridge promenade path cyclists and pedestrians should be on. The result has been tremendous danger and confusion as cyclists and pedestrians run into each other on the crowded path. To improve public safety and compensate for DOT ineptitude, Transportation Alternatives will post signs on the path after months of neglect by the Department of Transportation.
