They are going to take down the “Tappan Zee Bridge” at a cost of millions to the hard working NY’s which makes absolutely no sense. They could sell this bridge to a private consortium or if they like I’ll buy it from them even I paid them 10 dollars it still would save the taxpayers millions. There is no logical reason I can find that they have to spend our monies to tear down this bridge. PLEASE HELP ME FIND ONE. Here are just a few ways this bridge could be used.
(1) As a private option for those traveling from Rockland to Westchester. This way the public option will have to be top notch or the consumers can take the private option. Imagine less traffic on bridges because of competition reduces the carbon footprint (for my green friends) makes travel more efficient (for my business friends) and enables you to spend more time with your family or friends (helps those in the mental health industry lol)
(2) If the bridge can’t be sustained for car traffic it can be used as walking, bicycle and or motorcycle bridge with nice small restaurants and stores on the side.
(3) It could also become a green bridge with grass and trees planted as well as small boutiques and restaurants along the side.
