Caption Contest: Tappan Zee Outreach Gone Fishin’

Until last fall, the state's planning for a new Tappan Zee Bridge was a model of public outreach. It included over 280 public meetings and one outreach center open full-time on each side of the bridge.

Under Governor Andrew Cuomo, however, the project has been "fast-tracked." Transit was axed from the bridge and the project is hurtling forward without basic information being provided to the public. Tellingly, the outreach centers have been shuttered; shown above is the Nyack site as of yesterday.

The sign in the window says "Space For Rent." Let us know in the comments what it should really say.
