Rivera Demands Timely Publication And Annual Greenways Updates▸Aug 14 - City unveils Greater Greenways map. The gaps remain. No timelines. No money. Riders and walkers wait while paint is sold as 'greenways.' The release is eight months late. Midtown's showpiece still misses the East Side.
Plan: Greater Greenways master plan (no bill number). Status: released Aug. 14, 2025; agencies: DOT and Parks; committee: none. A 2022 law by Council Member Carlina Rivera requires publication and annual updates; this release arrived over eight months late. The plan is "intended to connect gaps across NYC's bike and pedestrian paths." It names early action corridors and uses $7.25 million in federal funds to write corridor plans by 2028. Construction timelines are missing. Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa says it maps "strengths and weaknesses." The Midtown Greenway showcase still leaves the East Side gap. Safety impact: none yet. Without implementation details, funding, or accountability, conditions do not change. No system-wide gains for riders and walkers until real build-out.

A 2022 law by Council Member Carlina Rivera requires publication and annual updates; this release arrived over eight months late. The plan is "intended to connect gaps across NYC's bike and pedestrian paths." It names early action corridors and uses $7.25 million in federal funds to write corridor plans by 2028. Construction timelines are missing. Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa says it maps "strengths and weaknesses." The Midtown Greenway showcase still leaves the East Side gap. Safety impact: none yet. Without implementation details, funding, or accountability, conditions do not change. No system-wide gains for riders and walkers until real build-out.

Rivera Demands Timely Publication And Annual Greenways Updates▸Aug 14 - City unveils Greater Greenways map. The gaps remain. No timelines. No money. Riders and walkers wait while paint is sold as 'greenways.' The release is eight months late. Midtown's showpiece still misses the East Side.
Plan: Greater Greenways master plan (no bill number). Status: released Aug. 14, 2025; agencies: DOT and Parks; committee: none. A 2022 law by Council Member Carlina Rivera requires publication and annual updates; this release arrived over eight months late. The plan is "intended to connect gaps across NYC's bike and pedestrian paths." It names early action corridors and uses $7.25 million in federal funds to write corridor plans by 2028. Construction timelines are missing. Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa says it maps "strengths and weaknesses." The Midtown Greenway showcase still leaves the East Side gap. Safety impact: none yet. Without implementation details, funding, or accountability, conditions do not change. No system-wide gains for riders and walkers until real build-out.

Rivera Demands Timely Publication And Annual Greenways Updates▸Aug 14 - City unveils Greater Greenways map. The gaps remain. No timelines. No money. Riders and walkers wait while paint is sold as 'greenways.' The release is eight months late. Midtown's showpiece still misses the East Side.
Plan: Greater Greenways master plan (no bill number). Status: released Aug. 14, 2025; agencies: DOT and Parks; committee: none. A 2022 law by Council Member Carlina Rivera requires publication and annual updates; this release arrived over eight months late. The plan is "intended to connect gaps across NYC's bike and pedestrian paths." It names early action corridors and uses $7.25 million in federal funds to write corridor plans by 2028. Construction timelines are missing. Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa says it maps "strengths and weaknesses." The Midtown Greenway showcase still leaves the East Side gap. Safety impact: none yet. Without implementation details, funding, or accountability, conditions do not change. No system-wide gains for riders and walkers until real build-out.

Rivera Demands Timely Publication And Annual Greenways Updates▸Aug 14 - City unveils Greater Greenways map. The gaps remain. No timelines. No money. Riders and walkers wait while paint is sold as 'greenways.' The release is eight months late. Midtown's showpiece still misses the East Side.
Plan: Greater Greenways master plan (no bill number). Status: released Aug. 14, 2025; agencies: DOT and Parks; committee: none. A 2022 law by Council Member Carlina Rivera requires publication and annual updates; this release arrived over eight months late. The plan is "intended to connect gaps across NYC's bike and pedestrian paths." It names early action corridors and uses $7.25 million in federal funds to write corridor plans by 2028. Construction timelines are missing. Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa says it maps "strengths and weaknesses." The Midtown Greenway showcase still leaves the East Side gap. Safety impact: none yet. Without implementation details, funding, or accountability, conditions do not change. No system-wide gains for riders and walkers until real build-out.
