  • 5 IMPLEMENTATION Implementation of the Hudson River Valley Greenway Trail Is an Ongoing Process
    5 IMPLEMENTATION Implementation of the Hudson River Valley Greenway Trail is an ongoing process. The existing hiking, biking and water trail routes can continue to be improved and promoted, while the multi-use path will require a significant level of new planning, design and capital investment. In the past 25 years, the Greenway has developed grass-roots and local government support for these efforts, providing an excellent foundation for the next generation of the trail system. The following actions are recommended for the ongoing success of the HRVG: 1. Continue promoting the Water Trail: this is the most direct connection to the river, and can be marketed without significant capital improvements to promote the whole Greenway. 2. Upgrade the existing Hiking Trails: The continuous hiking trail can be achieved with alignments closer to the river - and many of these key connections are already in progress. With the new TZ bridge path and the Walkway over the Hudson, a loop hiking trail can connect both sides of the river in the lower half of the valley. 3. Improve the on-road Bike Routes: the currently signed NYS Bike Route 9 is a challenging route and is limited to experienced cyclists. Improving signage, paved shoulders, bike lanes, bike parking and Amtrak access will all support increased use along the route. Both the PTNY and West Side routes are not currently designated, but they can be improved to create on-road routes on both sides of the river. 4. Develop the continuous Hudson River Valley Greenway Trail trunk line: the efforts of the past decades have led to significant new potential to create a continuous multi-use path the length of the Hudson River Valley from Manhattan to the Adirondacks.

  • REVIEW 2013 - 2014 Dear Friend of Randall’S Island Park
    REVIEW 2013 - 2014 Dear Friend of Randall’s Island Park, Thank you for your interest in Randall’s Island Park. As Co-Chairs of the Randall’s Island Park Alliance (RIPA) Board of Trustees, we invite you to enjoy our 2013-2014 Review. RIPA’s continued success in reaching our goals comes through the great work and generosity of our many partners and supporters – a true Alliance in support of the Park’s programs, fields, facilities and natural areas. You will find in the following pages photos and acknowledgements of the many local program partners, donors, volunteers, elected officials and City and State agencies who have helped to bring us to this point. We are especially grateful to the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation for extraordinary support and guidance throughout our successful partnership of more than 20 years. Following its recent transformation, Randall’s Island Park’s visibility continues to grow, and more and more New Yorkers are visiting its shores. Our fellow Board Members, challenged and inspired by what the Park can be, continue to contribute countless hours and crucial support. In 2014 the Board undertook a comprehensive plan for improvement and expansion of our free public programs. Visits to the Island have nearly doubled in recent years, to approximately 3 million! We expect our increased free programming will continue to expand our universe of visitors and friends. Many thanks to these millions of fans who visit and who compliment the Park through positive feedback on our social media, sharing photos and observations, and who help us to grow our Alliance every day.
