Local pol scores big bucks for Shore Road Promenade
Ridgeites can look forward to smoother sailing along the Shore Road Promenade.
This summer, sinkholes that have long plagued the bike and pedestrian path will see spruce ups thanks to $500,000 in funding secured by the Parks Department at the request of Councilmember Vincent Gentile.
“This is first and foremost a pressing safety issue,” said Gentile, who represents Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights. “This is one of the most scenic stretches in New York City and to see it in this condition is heartbreaking. I want to ensure the safety of all who utilize this path, and I am elated that we were able to secure the funds needed and thankful for the level of commitment from the Parks Department and Commissioner Mitchell Silver.”
