The Brockport NY Loop Pedestrian Bridge is a gently curving, ADA-compliant crossing over the Erie Canal, connecting SUNY Brockport to the Empire State Trail and village center. Built under the Reimagine the Canals initiative, it features a sinuous Black Locust wood deck and handrails—chosen for natural rot resistance and aesthetics—wrapping around a historic guard gate, with integrated seating, bike racks, native plant rain gardens, LED lighting, and public‑art areas.
