Man Calls For Tax On Tourists Crossing Brooklyn Bridge By Foot

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Should tourists be taxed for walking across the Brooklyn Bridge?

One man thinks so. 

Julian Rosow grew up in Manhattan before moving to Brooklyn and says in the last few years, as the borough has become more popular, foot traffic on the bridge has drastically increased.

Rosow says this makes it harder for runners, like himself, and others to pass, negatively affecting their quality of life.

He would like the city to start taxing tourists who cross the bridge by foot.
