South Bronx Greenway
The South Bronx Greenway is a project to improve waterfront access, recreational facilities, and transportation systems, including pedestrian and bicycle paths, in the South Bronx.[1] The project was announced by Michael Bloomberg in 2006.[2]

One of the key components of the Greenway is the Randalls Island connector,[3] which was completed in 2016.[4] This provides a pedestrian, wheelchair, and bicycle path from Randalls Island to the Mott Haven neighborhood in the Bronx. This, along with the Wards Island Bridge, creates a route between the Bronx and Manhattan that is completely segregated from vehicular traffic and free from steps.[5]
