	Verrazano Narrows Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Verrazano Narrows Bridge (often written as the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge) is a suspension bridge that connects the boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn in New York City at the Narrows, the reach connecting the relatively protected upper bay with the larger lower bay.
		The bridge is owned by the City of New York and operated by the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, an affiliate agency of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (New York).
		The bridge was the last great public works project in New York City overseen by Robert Moses, the New York Parks Commissioner and head of the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, who had long desired the bridge as means of completing the expressway system which was itself largely the result of his efforts.

		Bridge and tunnel (often abbreviated to B&T) is a derogatory term used by residents of Manhattan to refer to the large amount of people who commute into the city from the nearby area, both for work and for the New York nightlife.
		Though the name originates from the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority (which only service the three boroughs surrounding Manhattan), the term has come to encompass all people who originate from Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens, Staten Island, and even Long Island and New Jersey.
		Bridge and Tunnel was also the name of a one-woman off-broadway show, in which all of the parts were performed by stage actress Sarah Jones, who explored the diverse immigrant makeup of the outer boroughs by playing a variety of different characters, each of a different race.

		Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority is the legal name for what MTA the state holding company calls MTA Bridges and Tunnels.
		The seven toll bridges and two toll tunnels owned and operated by MTA subsidiary the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority currently gross $1.1 billion a year in toll revenues.
		Consequently, a long-term lease of the bridges and tunnels would eliminate the debt and produce a significant surplus - probably $25 billion to $35 billion after debt retirement.

	The 1955 Joint Study of Arterial Facilities
		Both The Port of New York Authority and The Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority are particularly responsible for the planning and development of adequate highway connections between the various sectors of this bi-state region, the center of world commerce and transportation.
		The Triborough Authority, however, has a more limited capacity for expansion and would not be in a position to undertake the Narrows Bridge for an estimated ten years.
		The recommended Bridge projects and approaches have been and will continue to be the subject of the most thorough discussion by the Port Authority and the Triborough Authority with Federal, State and local officials, as well as civic and private groups and individuals.

		On appeal from the interlocutory judgment, the TBTA contends that the plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case of negligence against it and challenges several of the trial court's evidentiary rulings.
		The plaintiff was permitted, over the TBTA's objection, to present evidence suggesting that the TBTA was negligent in failing to install a median barrier or certain warning signs on the bridge.
		In its main brief, the TBTA raised no argument as to any alleged error in the jury verdict finding that Wagner was not at fault in the happening of the accident.

	Manhattan Bridge
		Like the Williamsburg Bridge, the proposed bridge was to have massive steel towers and deep stiffening trusses (at 55 feet, they were to be even deeper than the 40-foot truss of the Williamsburg Bridge).
		When the bridge opened, the four trolley tracks, four subway tracks and pedestrian walkway had not yet been completed because a new city administration had removed mass transit from the control of the bridge commissioner.
		Work on the bridge was to be carried out under three separate contracts, the first two for stiffening the side and main spans, followed by a third one for the installation of prefabricated panels on the lower roadway.

		The Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority agreed that sick notes from members’ doctors will be secured, will be kept only at the central office and will not be entered in any computer database.
		However, TBTA supervisors had been copying documents from several employees at a time, then leaving the copies in an open box for them to retrieve.
		The union is challenging a unilateral TBTA policy change, instituted a year ago, requiring members to go to the agency doctor on the first day of sick leave, rather than providing a doctor’s note after the third consecutive sick day.
