NEW YORK - The Brooklyn Bridge will no longer serve as the local merchant hub it used to be until not long ago. Starting January 2, local vendors who sprung up the pathway of the popular bridge have not been allowed to conduct business in the premises, or any of New York City's 789 bridges, as per a new city guideline.
For decades now, New York City's bridges were occupied by licensed and unlicensed vendors selling a variety of products including New York-branded t-shirts and glasses, Marvel paintings and Mexican maracas. Calling the attention of passing tourists, these small shops would often cause congestion along the bridge's wooden pathway. The new rule seeks to change this.
