Brooklyn Greenway Initiative

The Brooklyn Greenway Initiative is the non-profit organization behind a grand urban transformation taking place along the borough's waterfront. Its central mission is to complete the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway, a twenty-six-mile long, landscaped path dedicated to cyclists, runners, and pedestrians. This route serves as a continuous ribbon of green space designed to connect diverse neighborhoods, parks, and regional transit hubs from Greenpoint down to Bay Ridge. By carving out these dedicated lanes, the organization provides a rare, protected corridor that allows people to navigate the industrial edge of the city entirely separate from vehicular traffic.
