The Brooklyn Bridge just got more welcoming for locals & visitors alike! ? The next phase of “The Arches” opened today on the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge. After major restoration and cleaning, nearly 15k square foot of precious public space has been returned to the community – with access to more than a dozen tall shade trees, including oaks, elms, and Japanese pagoda trees. Sixteen park benches, many with views of the adjacent historic bridge, have also been restored and installed around the space, bounded by Park Row on the north and Rose Street to the south.

Honoring the Vision Zero Research Award Winners, champions of safer streets and innovative solutions for our communities.
