Brooklyn–Queens Greenway
The Brooklyn–Queens Greenway is the plan for a linear pedestrian/cyclist path in the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. Although proposals for this path to be fully separated from automobile traffic has existed for decades, only sections have been constructed with large unprotected gaps between them. The fully planned path will connect Coney Island in the south of Brooklyn to Fort Totten in the north of Queens.
The completed path would connect major sites in the two boroughs, such as the New York Aquarium, the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the New York Hall of Science, the Queens Botanical Garden, and the Kissena Park velodrome. The 40-mile (64 km) route would link up paths in Prospect Park, along Eastern Parkway and Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn, and in Alley Pond Park, Cunningham Park, Forest Park, Kissena Park and Ridgewood Reservoir in Queens, in addition to the planned greenways Motor Parkway East, Long Island Greenway, and Northern Queens Waterfront Greenway.
