A motorist filed a lawsuit against New York City for $5 million in Brooklyn Supreme Court Monday.
According to court documents, Dennis Aryan crashed his car on the Brooklyn side of the Kosciusko Bridge beacuse, he claims, of “defective and hazardous condition[s].” Governor Paterson has promised to rebuild the Kosciusko bridge along with twenty-five other bridges throughout the state by tapping into the private sector, but this plan has seemingly been put on hold.
While the city is responsible for basic maintenance of the roads, rebuilding the bridges is the job of the state legislature. According to an official with the state Department of Transportation, budget concerns have delayed the $1 billion Kosciusko project.
City officials declined to comment on the lawsuit, and Aryan could not be reached for comment.
