A Friend of mine who lives in NYC sent me a link to the 12.24.15 New York Times article reporting on the continuing closure of the Ted Zoli designed/engineered pedestrian bridge in Squibb Park, Brooklyn, New York City [1]. Reporter Lisa W. Foderaro [2] explains that the bridge was constructed and opened in 2013, the bridge was closed without explanation in 2014, and remained closed in 2015.
