Just trying to be a bike commuter for one less car on the road in the morning

@GMMCB @RideHudsonLink Can I get a guarantee that it won’t close an hour earlier than it is supposed to like earlier this year. Planning ahead didn’t help then. There was no notification that it was going to close before 7am instead of 8am, even the website was reporting it was open.

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@BikeTarrytown @NYSThruway @kenzebrowski_ny @LeroyComrie @bradhoylman @ShelleyBMayer @JessicaRamos @JamesSkoufis It would help if the closure wasn’t brought forward an hour without notice. I did plan ahead and got there 50 mins before it was supposed to close. But apparently that was too late.

@GMMCB Why was it shut at 7.10 this morning? The website even said it was open. Thanks for making me 45 minutes late for work. Please treat the path like the transport route it is supposed to be!

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@GMMCB Is it going to be open in the morning so I can get to work?

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@GMMCB Yet the road is completely clear!

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@BikeTarrytown @NYSThruway They couldn’t even wait until 9am so people could get to work 😡

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@GMMCB storms have passed through, can you reopen.

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@GMMCB Can you reopen the bridge, the storm has passed through and there is nothing coming if you look at the radar. I need to get home.

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@GMMCB Again?! Please reopen quickly so those of us that use it for commuting can get home from work. Can you please let us decide if we want to cross the bridge or not, I'm capable of looking at the radar to see what is coming.

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@GMMCB and why is it still closed? That was a really fast moving small cell going past, it was probably only in the area for 15 - 20 mins. There is absolutely nothing else on the radar, how long are people supposed wait around to be able to cross?

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@BikeTarrytown @GMMCB I was thinking this biking home on Friday that I bet if they try and fix all the bumps along the path that they wouldn't do it at night but during the day.

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@GMMCB so yesterday the path stayed open in the evening as it should when it was gusting 40mph, did anyone get hurt? I am presuming not so why close today?

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@GMMCB Thanks for making me "traffic". I would like to know exactly what I am being saved from by putting me in a car on a busy highway instead of walking or biking on the shared use path.

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@BikeTarrytown @GMMCB No. But even better is that many of the busses people are supposed to take instead are canceled.

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@GMMCB @RideHudsonLink I would feel far safer walking or biking than sitting on a bus passing trucks on the left at 15-20mph over the posted speed limit. If I am able to decide to bike to the bridge I should be able to decide it I want to bike across it.

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@GMMCB There aren’t even any whitecaps on the river

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@GMMCB I shouldn’t have to worry about whether I can make it home when I bike into work.

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@GMMCB @RideHudsonLink Plus I would need a whole different set of clothing to wait for a bus for up to 20 mins than what I need for the rest of my trip being active on the bike.

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@GMMCB @RideHudsonLink I would have felt a lot safer on my bike or walking than I did driving or riding a bus across the bridge with trucks and trailers veering over 2 lanes and into the bus lane at times

[Stroppy @Stroppy17]

@GMMCB Is the bridge closed to trucks? If not then it has to be safe enough for walking or biking.
