Quaglione Thinks Verrazano Tolls Should Cover Graffiti Removal

City Council hopeful John Quaglione is disgusted at the sight of graffiti lining the exit ramp of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and is demanding the MTA do something about it.

Quaglione, who is challenging veteran Councilman Vincent Gentile for his seat, railed against the MTA for its unpopular $15 tolls, which he believes is contributing nothing to clean graffiti off the bridge.

The candidate said he was driving around on Monday when he went to enter the Belt Parkway at 4th Avenue and 100th Street and found himself staring at a wall of graffiti on the exit ramp – a “very bad welcome sign to” Brooklyn, Quaglione said.

So he scoffed at the MTA’s inability to wipe its bridge’s bottomside.

“With the Verrazano Narrows Bridge toll now $15 a better maintenance system must be put into place. What are we paying all this money for, if they can’t even keep the Bridge clean?” he said in a press release.
