There was a drone overhead filming us. I thought some of you might like to see what the demonstration looked like.

I'm glad you're taking up advocacy for the carfree movement. Those bridges are not passable by bicycle and the only one is to take the train. I would not even think about risking my life walking or biking over them.

I was emailing local government officials to reopen a bridge for years! My dream finally came true as they are building a new Goethals bridge with a walk way for bikes and people. I can't wait!
