New York City has kicked off the expansion of the Harlem River Greenway in the Bronx. City officials announced Wednesday that more than four lane miles of on-street protected bike lanes will be installed along the corridor in 2025. The project aims to create a seven-mile greenway from Van Cortlandt Park to Randall’s Island Park , better connecting Bronx residents to their waterfront with new open space and bike routes.

Construction follows two years of planning, which concluded in April and will be outlined in an implementation plan report expected in the coming months. During the planning process, the city’s Department of Transportation (DOT) engaged with hundreds of community members through three rounds of workshops and more than 30 community events.
