North Shore Greenway Report Release

On Monday, May 20th Transportation Alternatives and The Harbor Ring released their report, "Ringing in the Greenway". Representatives from the Councilwoman's Office, Snug Harbor Cultural Center, Community Board 1, and other various community departments came out to show their support. This completed pathway will encircle New York Harbor and connect Brooklyn, Staten Island, New Jersey and Manhattan. We are all looking forward to having this secured multi-use path that will be beneficial to Staten Islanders, increase tourism and help the North Shore economically.

The following is a link to the North Shore Greenway campaign that includes a link to their full report:

Press Conference for the North Shore Greenway Report Release

The North Shore Greenway is a long sought concept for a bicycle/ pedestrian pathway extending across the North Shore waterfront from the Verrazzano Bridge on the east side to the Goethals Bridge on the west side. It would be comparable to Manhattan's Hudson River Greenway. Portions of the greenway already exist- Faber Park, Heritage Park and the coming "Van Pelt/ Van Name Waterfront Plaza" on the west side as well as the Stapleton Waterfront Plaza and the Promenade at Lighthouse Point on the east side- but they are trying to get the Department of Transportation to commit to finishing the greenway. 

On Monday, May 20th, the Transportation Alternatives and the Harbor Ring Committee are hosting a press conference regarding the North Shore Greenway in order to announce the release of a brand new mini report documenting public support for the concept while calling on the DOT to commit to its completion.

Please join them on May 20th at 9:30 am and support the North Shore Greenway!
