As you said they'll use any excuse to close the walkway.


Closed 6 months in 2000 to install decorative lighting.

Then closed after that for a week during the summer of 2000 because the GOP convention was in town (I'll bet NYC didn't have any bridge walkways closed during the last GOP convention).

Then closed for 6 weeks after the first "amber alert" (?) in October 2001.

And when it snows they close it early and leave it closed long after the snow has melted.

And one kicker is that they're closing the whole bridge for the Amercian Cancer Society Bike-A-Thon Sunday morning. Ridiculous.
