A Floating Timber Bridge Could Connect Greenpoint, Brooklyn and Long Island City
If you stand in Manhattan Avenue Park in Brooklyn?s Greenpoint neighborhood, you?ll see the Long Island City skyline across a small creek. On the Greenpoint side of the creek, a historic neighborhood of row houses and industrial sites is rapidly growing. On the Long Island City side, high-rise apartments and hundreds of art galleries and studios line the East River. Just a stone?s throw away, Long Island City can feel like a world apart from Greenpoint. That?s in large part due to the fact that only one bridge connects the neighborhoods?and it?s meant more for cars than pedestrians or cyclists. Isn?t there a better way" Architect Jun Aizaki thinks so. For the past few years, he and his team at CRÈME Architecture and Design have been working on the so-called ?Timber Bridge at Longpoint Corridor."
