The East River Greenway - Part III

The East River Greenway - Part III

The Greenway enters Stuyvesant Cove Park, a 1.9-acre public park that runs from 23rd Street to 18th Street, east of Avenue C. It is located to the south of Waterside Plaza and to the north of the East River Park, connecting to the Captain Patrick J. Brown Walk on the south end.

The Captain Patrick J. Brown Walk is a brick-paved walkway that connects Stuyvesant Cove Park on the north to East River Park to the south. Designed for use by pedestrians and cyclists, it runs approximately between 15th and 18th streets, and Avenues C and D, and was named in 2002 after Captain Patrick J. Brown, a firefighter who died in the September 11 attacks, and who lived in nearby Stuyvesant Town.

City services, such as the Department of Sanitation, use the waterfront for equipment.

During Michael Bloomberg's tenure as mayor, he spearheaded the PlaNYC 2030 initiative, which highlights projects and plans to transform the city by the year 2030.

An important focus is put on the waterfront, including the East River waterfront.

Bloomberg also stressed the importance of ferry transport, as an alternative to existing land transport options.

Stuyvesant Park Ecology: Ecology is the study of living organisms and their relationships to one another and their environment. Plants are an essential part of life on Earth. They provide oxygen, food, and habitat for most animals. People use plants for many things, including medicine and clothing. Plants need soil for nutrients and anchoring.
