Exciting greenways update in the Boogie Down Bronx

Exciting greenways update in the Boogie Down Bronx! For generations, Bronx residents have lacked access to the Harlem River waterfront. Today, @nyc_dot made the exciting announcement of the release of the Harlem River Greenway plan, a historic milestone for the Bronx and a concrete roadmap to create a continuous greenway path from Randall’s Island to Van Cortlandt Park.⁠ ⁠ Communities next to the Harlem River have long been overlooked. This plan for the long-awaited Harlem River Greenway represents an important step toward correcting that injustice. As founding convener of the NYC Greenways Coalition, Brooklyn Greenway Initiative is grateful for the tenacity of advocates like the @harlemrivercoalition and to NYC DOT and other partners in government for at last responding to the community and creating this plan. ⁠ ⁠ Greenways bring neighborhoods together and provide New Yorkers with unparalleled opportunities to safely walk, run, bike, or just enjoy open space by the water. Greenways are widely recognized to improve physical and mental health. With the Harlem River Greenway plan, neighbors in Mott Haven, Morris Heights, and Kingsbridge will be able to stroll, roll, or sit and enjoy the Harlem River, right in their Bronx backyard. #greenway #bronx #nyc

Thanks to everyone who brought the vibes to Greenw

Thanks to everyone who brought the vibes to Greenway Stomp this fall. Wishing everyone a warm and joyful holiday season! 🚲💚

Thank you so much to everyone who joined Brooklyn

Thank you so much to everyone who joined Brooklyn Greenway Initiative for our first-ever Greenway Stomp! There was no better way to spend a fall afternoon than among the native plants and wildlife of the Naval Cemetery Landscape, listening to our talented group of bluegrass musicians, and enjoying food and drink from our local vendors. We loved showing off your creative costumes in the children’s costume parade led by Councilmember Lincoln Restler. Thank you so much to our sponsors, our musicians, Councilmember Lincoln Restler, and to our vendors, Strong Rope Brewery and Mesha Davidson for a great event! An extra special thank you to David Alm for thinking up Greenway Stomp and being so instrumental in making it happen.

Join us tomorrow for free fall fun at Greenway Sto

Join us tomorrow for free fall fun at Greenway Stomp! Live Bluegrass Music, food, costumes encouraged!

We enjoyed presenting updates on the @nycgreenways

We enjoyed presenting updates on the @nycgreenways and the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway User Study at last week's Empire State Greenways Conference hosted by @parkstrailsny and we got lots of good ideas to bring back to NYC. Highlights included inspiring remarks by @jsadikkhan and PTNY Executive Director @paulsteelywhite and checking out fall colors on the amazing Ashokan Rail Trail. Big thanks to @h_armstrong_nyc and to all pf the organizers and attendees helping advance greenway networks across New York State.
