Cyclists are discussing with some concern
where they will come in when the roadways OF
the Brooklyn Bridge given over to the troll
ley-cars. That there will be no place left for
them to ride is assured and some provision will
have to be made for them. The question has
been presented to Superintendent Martin and
the Bridge trustees and the matter has been dis
cussed at length. 1t at first proposed TO
build bicycle path over the roadway, but the
plan which meets with the most favor at present
Is to have the path erected on the trestle-work
over the car tracks. The scheme has been dis
cussed, to the manner in which the cyclist
will be able to reach this height. Some favor
having the wheelmen carry their bicycles up a
flight of steps to be erected off the pedestrian
path Others think that arrangement for
made. There will be less trouble from this score
on the Brooklyn side, where the approach is
different.
