There is a pedestrian crossing sign here but cars rarely yield to crossing pedestrians. I've had instances where a car actually speeds up when I am crossing. This is a vital connector for pedestrian and bike access between Harlem and the Bronx as well as access to the Library and Percy E. Sutton Playground and should be safer to cross.

Mill Pond Park is great to walk around but the path to get there as a pedestrian is long, contains many car-pedestrian conflict points, and is not straightforward.

Key for me in any visioning, is the Macomb’s Dam Bridge to Randalls section having: - Bike and pedestrian paths throughout - Green space throughout (grass, plants, trees etc) - Sections of small or larger park areas with grass areas to sit or rest (enjoy the green space and view of the water/nyc) - Sections with benches or seats to sit or rest (enjoy the green space and view of the water/nyc) - Sections with food/drinks/coffee stations (food cart style, kiosk style ala Bryant Park, or larger facilities e.g. LIC style) - Sections with mixed material / interactive with the environment Art / history installations, or nature interactive guides e.g. birds other wildlife info - Safety phones e.g. inclusive in the nyc wifi spots I consider the above to bare minimum inclusive items if measuring a quality build and building it right the first time that would be beneficial for generations – the below extra, if possible, though understand they are perhaps not possible (or maybe they are e.g. restaurants using moored boats). - Small pier areas for water access activities (kayak, fishing, other water activities) - Small beach areas for water access by families - Restaurants by the water / maybe even on the water e.g. a boat moored and used as a restaurant (a moored boat may in fact be more practical as it would extend space and make a few restaurants possible. You would be surprised how much buy in you would get to this, see e.g. along Riverside park areas).

If the Greenway path goes across 138th Street, it would be great to highlight, with a plaque or banner, the old site of The Mott Haven Canal, which is now the street called Canal Place. Jordan Mott (for whom Mott Haven is named) built a canal to float his cast iron stoves and man hole covers out to market, because they were too heavy to travel by land. Mott's factory drove the growth of the whole area.

Bike line to connect with Edward l grant

No crosswalk

Besides building out a proper greenway along the Harlem River Waterfront in the Bronx, the greenway needs to have safe/protected connections for pedestrians and people bicycling to the various Harlem River Bridges, like the Madison Avenue bridge.

Will a waterfront greenway connection along the south shore of the Bronx near Fresh Direct be possible here? Sure would be great. If not and a greenway needs to be on public streets, it needs to be physically protected/separated with concrete

Needs to be a physically protected bike path/greenway from the west directly connecting to Randalls Island Connector bridge.
