We're anxious for the ribbon-cutting later this year! The Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway is 22 out of 29 miles complete; slow but steady progress continues to be made towards the rest of the 2005 Shore Parkway Greenway Master Plan (NYC Planning) and 2012 Implementation Plan (NYC DOT), which embraced BGI's vision of a waterfront greenway as a goal of the city government. The Hamilton/Third Avenue project will establish a connection between communities in Sunset Park and Red Hook suitable for walking, running, and biking.

With snow moving through the region, it's helpful to remember that greenways in Brooklyn and throughout NYC are managed by a few different agencies - primarily NYC DOT and NYC Parks - with different resources at their disposal for snow and ice removal. [📷 BGI, Feb 2024]

Here at BGI, we are committed to transforming New York City's waterfront into a connected network of greenways, providing users with a climate-resilient option for navigating the five boroughs on wheels or on foot. To celebrate Giving Tuesday, BGI's Board of Directors will double your impact by matching up to $10,000 donated from now until the end of the year. See the link in our bio!

Thank you to the team at @GoldmanSachs for another great #CommunityTeamWorks Day stewarding the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway - this time in Sunset Park! Volunteers collected trash and weeds, keeping the greenway safe, clean, and supportive of the biodiverse ecosystems who inhabit it! We’re looking forward to more greenway access coming to Sunset Park, and can’t wait to see you all walking, biking, and enjoying more miles of the BWG! Thank you again to the team at @GoldmanSachs for your hard work!
