Thanks to everyone that joined the NYC Greenways Coalition and Brooklyn Greenway Initiative at the 2024 summit last week! It was an engaging and informative two days with Coalition members, community stakeholders, government leaders, and planners... capped later in the day with the fantastic news of the $96 million federal investment in the Inwood Greenway. Let's keep up the momentum!

Join Brooklyn Greenway Initiative and the East Brooklyn Bike Club on a bike ride from Canarsie to the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge visitors center! RSVP link in the bio. We will start from the Canarsie Park entrance at Seaview Avenue and Paerdegat Ave North, ride through the park along the connecting bike trail to the Greenway. Then we'll head along the Brooklyn section of the Jamaica Bay Greenway to Howard Beach, and take the new (as of 2023) protected bike path on the Addabbo North Channel Bridge. Finally, we'll continue on the Broad Channel section of the Jamaica Bay Greenway to the visitors center at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge! (Total ride - 8 miles) [Note that bikes are not permitted on the trails at the wildlife refuge, but bike racks are available for those that wish to lock up their bikes and continue on foot through the wildlife refuge. Remember to bring a lock!]
