During the summer months the Joseph P. Addabbo Bridge, which connects Howard Beach and Broad Channel, has been a dumping ground for an increased amount of trash, prompting complaints from local residents.
In an effort to remedy the situation, state Senator Joseph Addabbo Jr. has partnered with the Jewish Community Council (JCC) of Greater Coney Island to bring in a cleaning crew for the area.
Previously, the city Department of Transportation had personnel who would occasionally clean the bridge, but during the COVID-19 pandemic, that program had to be suspended, leaving the bridge and pedestrian paths full of debris.
