Eyes on the Street: Brooklyn Bridge, Thurs. June 29, 8:45 am

10:57 AM EDT on June 29, 2006

Manhattan-bound on the Brooklyn Bridge this morning,
on the way to Transportation Alternatives' City Hall rally. The traffic
jam on the right, the smog-cloaked city in the background, the sparsely
populated bike path -- this is what a broken transportation system
looks like.
