@tafio14 why does the bridge even close? i guess because of "jumpers" at night, god forbid the old ass cops have to do something (its a retirement job).. your right its a huge joke, they claim they need the dual jurisdiction thats why its in place.. the drivers don't get to vote on "economic" developments right? no they just pay for them.. 4 dollar cat walk across the river i'm surprised you don't have to pay to walk over it lol check out how bad the bbc is their all bad..

More proof that ethics policies in government agencies are a joke. I wonder how Steve Sweeney's brother got his job at DRPA?

I wonder how much the average DRPA cop makes. I jog over the Ben Franklin often and see the cop sitting in his jeep on the walk way doing nothing. Not realizing the bridge closes at 8, so the cop was harassing me to get off the bridge. I told him I had to get back and to please just let me go. Instead he continued harassing me and so I told him he should stop harassing me since I help pay his salary when I drive over the bridge. He said that's untrue so I decided he wasn't worth talking to.

The DRPA is a joke. The authority needs to be abolished, they raise tolls and spend money on things not related to keeping the bridge maintained (which was why the DRPA was established).
