‘Historic Brooklyn Greenway’ unveiled as part of city’s ambitious new system
A planned new expansion of New York City’s greenway system, announced Thursday by Mayor Eric Adams and several of his commissioners, would include a “Historic Brooklyn Greenway.”
This route would begin at Highland Park at the Brooklyn-Queen border, traverse busy Broadway Junction in East New York, head west along Eastern Parkway, loop around Prospect Park and then proceed south along Ocean Parkway down to the southern tip of Coney Island.
Readers of the Eagle know that another greenway plan, the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway, is already in the works, courtesy of the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative. When finished, it would navigate the shoreline of the entire borough.
