The long-argued Broadway bike lane beside Van Cortlandt park seems to now be a freshly painted fact on the ground from 4 blocks north of the subway at 246th to the Yonkers line:

If I were returning down the SCT either late enough that I didn't want to negotiate the roots and mud under a headlamp, or after facing enough puddles northbound that I'd rather not deal with it again, what's the best way to get from the SCT over to Broadway? Clearly you start by exiting at Alan Shepard Place, and then crossing the parkway on McLean's overpass, but then what?

Say as close to the edge of the park on Caryl Ave?

Follow McLean's wanderings and cut across on Lawrence or Radford?

Something else?

Also, while I'd be less likely to do it at the start of a ride, what about going to the SCT? Caryl seems to become one-way westbound.
