“During the Black Lives Matter marches, we saw the Brooklyn Bridge transformed into a grand public space right outside the windows of our Dumbo office. We’d discovered that at its peak, the Bridge had moved more than three times as many people across the river than it used to. By proposing to move people rather than cars across the Brooklyn Bridge, we are essentially creating a future public promenade for New Yorkers above the East River.”
