Our final round of community workshops is complete and we’ve posted all four presentations on-line. Each presentation includes: the Greenway’s background and process, a summary of the entire 14-mile route, and the proposed capital projects and future enhancements specific to each neighborhood.
The final Implementation Plan is still being developed, so please have a look at the neighborhood(s) with which you are most familiar and give us your comments.

A new temporary path is currently being built with the park.
Furman Street is now a 2-way roadway, providing north-south access along the waterfront. As a result, the bike path connecting Pier 1 and Pier 6 has been removed. Brooklyn Bridge Park and DOT are planning on opening a temporary path by the end of next week. In the meantime, please be careful along this stretch of the Greenway and either ride with traffic or walk your bike along the sidewalk.
