Transportation Alternatives Statement of March 30, 2005
On Tuesday, March 29, longtime bicycling advocate, Noah Budnick, was involved in a serious crash as he bicycled in Brooklyn near the exit of the Manhattan Bridge. Mr. Budnick was transported by ambulance to a local hospital. He is in stable condition, but remains in intensive care. Mr. Budnick is not able to see visitors at this time. Details of the crash are still emerging.
