This month, the MTA released a strategic-action plan to improve multimodal transportation across its system, including building accessible ramps and pathways on the RFK Bridge (right now, there are only staircases along the way),

Oh? This is the first I heard of them lifting the bicycling ban on the Triboro. Cool

I think cause it was the city council that is forcing the MTA (finally) to study bikes on the bridges. I'd only say the ban on Triboro might actually have made sense cause it's a literal death trap with no suicide fencing on the midspan lol, but it was stupid you could be ticketed for this shit. The stairs on there are ridiculous too. The MTA has at least slowly been more bike friendly, for example they got rid of the equally ridiculous bike tickets for the LIRR in the past 1-2 years if I recall
