Friday, July 20, 2007  Fun-in-the-sun burned  Motorists have to
pay $2.25 each time they travel across the Cross Bay Veterans
Memorial Bridge, the city’s only tolled intra- borough crossing.
Veterans Bridge Toll Protested  “It’s ridiculous,” said Kevin
Mellett of Briarwood, who comes to the beach almost every day
before his evening bartending shift begins. “Why should we have
to pay to come to our beach?”  Because you live in Queens. Now
shut up and fork over the money.  Photo from Queens Chronicle

cross the bridge for free, we wouldn't have as many problems in
Rockaway as we do...gangs, filth, etc. You gotta use it in order
to get service for it.  Anonymous said...  I guess this is why
people are leaving New York. Pretty soon we will have to pay to
cross a street. Too many people on the sidewalks.....congestive
people pricing.....Give me a break!  Bloomberg s#@ks. He thinks
the only pristine place is Manhattan. He never cared about the
borough
