By far the biggest car-free bicycle and pedestrian path New York City has ever seen, the Hudson River Greenway is a continuous 11-mile route between Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan and the Little Red Lighthouse underneath the George Washington Bridge. The trail passes through Hudson River Park, Riverside Park South, Riverside Park and Fort Washington Park. [TrailLink] |
The Magic of the Cities.
Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

Brooklyn Bridge
...the goal of art
was the vital expression of self. - Alfred
Stieglitz
|
The Brooklyn
Bridge is a bridge in New York City and
is one of the oldest suspension
bridges in the United States. Completed in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by
spanning the East River. With a main span of 1,595.5 feet
(486.3 m), it was the longest suspension bridge in the
world from its opening until 1903, and the first steel-wire
suspension bridge.
The
Brooklyn Bridge is accessible from the Brooklyn entrances of Tillary/Adams
Streets, Sands/Pearl Streets, and Exit 28B of the eastbound Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. In Manhattan,
motor cars can enter from either direction of the FDR Drive, Park Row, Chambers/Centre Streets, and
Pearl/Frankfort Streets. Pedestrian access to the bridge from the Brooklyn side
is from either Tillary/Adams Streets (in between the auto entrance/exit), or a
staircase on Prospect St between Cadman Plaza East and West. In Manhattan, the
pedestrian walkway is accessible from the end of Centre Street, or through the
unpaid south staircase of Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall IRT subway station.
The
Brooklyn Bridge has a wide pedestrian walkway open to walkers and cyclists, in
the center of the bridge and higher than the automobile lanes. While the bridge
has always permitted the passage of pedestrians across its span, its role in
allowing thousands to cross takes on a special importance in times of
difficulty when usual means of crossing the East River have become unavailable.
On October 1, 2011,
more than 700 protesters with the Occupy Wall Street movement were arrested
while attempting to march across the bridge on the roadway.
