The Route<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The East River Greenway, as you may expect, follows the East River of New York City. It begins at Battery Park and follows the East River to 125th Street in the Northern Quarter of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole trail is around 9 miles with a mile gap between 34th Street and 60th Street. The gap is there to accommodate the UN headquarters as it can be quite busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, there have recently been plans assigned to develop this gap as the rest of the Greenway is developed, making it safer for runners, especially at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reports suggest that this development of the route will be achieved by 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
