City Council Speaker Corey Johnson wants to know what New Yorkers think about making room on the notoriously-overcrowded Brooklyn Bridge promenade.

On Tuesday, Johnson announced “an international competition to rethink the iconic Brooklyn Bridge walkway,” in conjunction with the Manhattan-based Van Alen Institute.

“People from all over the world flock to the Brooklyn Bridge to soak in its history and breathtaking views of Manhattan. Commuters rely on it to easily walk or bike ride between boroughs,” Johnson said in a statement.

“We need to make sure they are not competing for space because we want the number of people using the bridge to continue growing.”

The contest will pick six potential designs for the promenade, a popular tourist destination that is often literally overflowing with pedestrians and cyclists, Johnson’s office said.

Submissions are due to the Van Alen Institute’s website by April 5, and will be split into two categories — one for people 21 and younger, one for everyone else. Finalists will be announced in May, and winners in June.

City transportation officials announced plans to study the feasibility of expanding the promenade in mid-2016, but those efforts have stalled until an inspection of the bridge’s cables is complete.

At the time, the Department of Transportation said the inspections would begin in 2019 — but on Tuesday, an agency rep said they won’t start until this coming April.

Preliminary findings of those inspections will be released in June, DOT spokeswoman Alana Morales said.
