A 32-Mile-Long Cycling & Pedestrian Path Heads To NYC
After years of planning officials are finally making moves on the 32-mile cycling and pedestrian path heading to Manhattan’s waterfront. The path, whose plans were first put into place during former Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s administration, will close one of the biggest gaps on the East River greenway. The East River Greenway is part of the larger Manhattan Waterfront Greenway, which includes the Hudson River Greenway and the Harlem River Greenway. In total the trails make up a 32-mile path that runs along Manhattan’s waterfront. The city Economic Development Corporation recently began the search for contractors to oversee the $120 million project. The path will stretch just under one mile and be built atop pillars on the waterway between East 41st and East 53rd Streets near the United Nations. Officials first broke ground on the project back in November 2019, and a section of the pathway was opened between East 53rd and East 61st Streets last year. However, the path ends right before reaching the UN, which means pedestrians and cyclists must walk and bike along traffic-heavy First and Second Avenues–this project will change that.
