Planned 14-mile Brooklyn waterfront bike path now a city priority

The city is finally taking on the proposal for a waterfront bike and walking path along Brooklyn’s waterfront and making it a priority. Neighborhood activists have long been pushing for a 14-mile-long park that stretches from Greenpoint to Bay Ridge, and this month, the Department of Transportation officially took over planning from the grassroots Brooklyn Greenway Initiative. The project has $16 million in federal, state and city earmarks, a new project manager and a design firm. A preliminary version of the pathway could be in place within three years, but the full, landscaped park will take longer and more money, according to the city. The exact route has not yet been determined. [NYDN]
