It’s official. Now everyone’s done the story now. Including me. But I think Brooklyn Paper had the scoop. Funny thing is, just last week when we were in DUMBO, some Long Islanders asked us how to get on the walkway to the Brooklyn Bridge. Neither Hepcat or I could tell them. We mentioned something about Miss Beck’s signs.  But… we weren’t much help. It is one of the great walks in America. I’m glad to see there will be signs showing the way. This from New York 1 (NY1.com):

New signs will be installed in Downtown Brooklyn, making it easier for
pedestrians to find the world’s largest suspension bridge. NY1’s Roger
Clark filed the following report.

For years, tourists and residents alike struggled to navigate
through Downtown Brooklyn in order to get to the Brooklyn Bridge’s
footpath. But, that all changed when Roslyn Beck, 71, started making
signs to help people find their way.

"People just keep getting lost, [I’d] catch them opening up their
maps, looking and trying to find the bridge,” recalled Beck. “They have
a subway map with them, which doesn’t always help."

Even though the Parks Department sometimes removed her signs, Beck
says she kept making more — in an attempt to help lost soles.

"Just a nice thing to do to help people who live in the area who need some help getting to the bridge,” said Beck.

Now the city is supporting this former college instructor and
professional tennis official’s signs, and adding some new ones as well.

"These signs that Ms. Beck has provided very generously, and the
formal and permanent signs that will be installed in the days to come
will really make it easier for a tourist to visit Brooklyn and to
celebrate with us that we are really one of the hottest places in the
globe," said Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz.

Brooklyn was recently named one of the world’s hottest tourist
attractions by Lonely Planet Travel, and Brooklyn’s downtown is
booming.

Officials have taken the hint, as the Metro Tech Business
Improvement District is putting 60 brand new information kiosks and 60
directional signs downtown and in surrounding neighborhoods…more at New York 1
