Holy Cow . . . how have we not updated you with good news? Sorry, our fail. But thanks for your support.
Bronx Community Board 8 Parks Committee voted (a couple weeks ago) 7-1 to approve the Parks plan to . . . you know complete the Putnam Trail.
Tuesday night the CB8 full board voted 25-7 to approve the plan.
Tonight . . . the Bronx community board 7 (not adjacent to the trail, but adjacent to Van Cortlandt) voted 5-0 to approve the plan.
The opposition has showed up to all these meetings and have spouted the same contradictory lies. And they are getting absolutely hammered in the votes.
More later on this.

Also here is 2 articles about them spend money to also improve the Bronx River Greenway

Bronx River Greenway Gets a $10 Million Boost From TIGER | Streetsblog New York City

Score! Final Link of 23 Mile Bronx River Greenway to Receive $10 Million for Completion | Welcome2TheBronx?

And also one on them connecting the last small stretch of the South & North County Trailway

Astorino proposes $2.3M to complete 36-mile trailway

I would like to see all this done, these are trail I use often and I'm not alone. Any time I'm out there I see others so this has to be a interest to others.
