I fervently hope that the East Side Greenway project will go forward because I am an avid biker who knows that it will make cycling on the East Side safer and more fun and because I am a UN neighbor who sees benefits for both my neighborhood and the UN.  – Irwin Arieff, Murray Hill resident

I remember jogging along the East River shortly after I moved to New York.  I was so disappointed to discover that the jogging paths along the river weren’t continuous. The East Side of Manhattan is the best neighborhood in the best city in the world. We need a waterfront that reflects that. – Matthew Daly, Earth Day New York and East Side Resident

It’s time to finish the East River Greenway. East Siders deserve waterfront access for walking, biking, and spending time outdoors in our beautiful city. We must have an ironclad agreement mandating the City to use the funds from this deal to complete the full Greenway and build active park space in this community.  – Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney
