Biking has become a more popular year-round transportation option, and greenways are the backbone of the network. The City has significantly improved its winter maintenance approach on DOT/DSNY-managed greenways since the winter of 2020-21, but Parks-managed greenways are still treated as seasonal, recreation-only paths, as seen in these two photos, taken a couple of miles and a few minutes apart last week.

We're extending our winter hours at the Naval Cemetery Landscape as sunset gets later. Come visit us on the weekends - now until 6pm!

We were proud to publish this op-ed with members of the NYC Greenways Coalition. Through $7.5 million in federal RAISE funds as well as Destination Greenways and other programs, NYC will be investing millions in planning and construction of greenways across the city in 2024 and beyond. We want to make sure more New Yorkers and more communities benefit from this, especially those that have been overlooked in the past. Read more about it in @citylimitsnews (link in our bio)

Brooklyn Greenway Initiative is proud to have work

Brooklyn Greenway Initiative is proud to have worked with the Urban Land Institute to release "A Coalition-Driven Path to an Equitable Citywide Greenway" intended to help guide the growth and impact of NYC Greenways. Major investments are in store for greenways in 2024, and we appreciate ULI and the Technical Advisory Panel for their thoughtful recommendations and dedication to the greenway and open space cause.
