Love the beach Posted August 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Just a heads up for those who might be traveling to Brooklyn or Manhattan cruiseports via Staten Island on Sat. Aug 23rd....you would be wise to choose another route: http://www.brooklyneagle.com//articles/2014/8/11/chokehold-protesters-drive-not-walk-verrazano-bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted August 12, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 12, 2014 The article says that Sharpton changed plans for the protest and they won't be marching across the bridge. Two City Council members and the borough president praised him for deciding to not tie up traffic on the bridge. So unless you think Sharpton is lying about the change in the demonstration, there's no need to avoid the bridge that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted August 12, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'll be in the area, but will be closely listening to traffic reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love the beach Posted August 12, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted August 12, 2014 You are still going to have a LOT more traffic on Staten Island coming from both directions and this is a "demonstration". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted August 12, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'll be going from Brooklyn to Si around dinner time. Since my ultimate destination is NY circling back to the GWB is an option if traffic is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Got2Cruise Posted August 12, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 12, 2014 You are still going to have a LOT more traffic on Staten Island coming from both directions and this is a "demonstration". Yes, Sharpton now calls it a "Justice Caravan", and there will be a demonstration, just not walking across the bridge. Ms. Kaufman good idea having alternative plans. NYC traffic is the pits in the best of circumstances.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted August 13, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Just read my earlier post. Talk about a typo. Actually, we will be going from Long Island to NJ and then back to MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
