Mayor Eric Adams is targeting areas with a lack of good transportation and jobs for an expansion of the city’s greenway network, using $7.25 million in federal infrastructure funding to plan for the new bike paths.
The grant money comes from the U.S. Department of Transportation and pays for the city to devise a “vision plan” to fill gaps in New York City’s greenways.
“All New Yorkers deserve access to our beautiful greenways, and we’re making that happen thanks to millions in federal funding,” Mayor Adams said in a Monday release. “This grant will help us do the necessary planning to make the city greener and more bike-friendly in the communities that most need that infrastructure.”
