Skaters are kickflipping with joy. A massive section of public space under the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge has reopened after 15 years with a spate of new amenities – including a site once known as the “mecca of New York skateboarding. ”  Two acres of “The Arches,” named for the 53 arches under the historic bridge, reopened Thursday with the legendary “Brooklyn Banks” skateboarding site, which was shuttered in 2010 to serve as a contractor staging area during the restoration of the Brooklyn Bridge.
