Greetings, Wired New York. Long time reader, first time poster.

Today I walked home from my office in NoHo across the Manhattan Bridge. Only problem was, when I got to the Brooklyn side, all the fences around the little plaza where the walkway connects to ground level were locked! Not having ever walked over the bridge before, I didn't know what to do, so ended up backtracking a bit, going under the bridge, dodging folks in the bike lane, going across the BQE, and eventually ended up on Gold Street which got me back (circuitously) to Flatbush Ave.

Anyway, what's the deal with the Brooklyn side? Are those fences always locked at the disagreeable hour of 7:30pm? Or did I miss some secret escape route?
