Description

The walkways on both sides of the Washington (181st St) Bridge are too narrow for two people to pass each other comfortably, much less bicycle across safely. Someone walking a bicycle takes up the entire sidewalk and has no room to pass someone coming in the opposite direction. With speeding traffic on one side and a jagged railing on the other, this bridge is an unpleasant and unsafe way to cross the river. The bridge is wide enough to allot more space to pedestrians and cyclists, and the approaches at either end need to be made more intuitive and less secluded.
