The battle to save the Lefferts Blvd. bridge is not new. The New York Times covered the neglect of the bridge by MTA way back in 1993 in an article that ends: "The M.T.A. is a railroad company," he said. "They don't understand the significance of our Ponte Vecchio. They don't understand the importance to the neighborhood."
