They put in a sidewalk around 125th (where you have to cross over the WSH service road/entrance right after the Fairway as you go south) on the far left as you look at the water. I didn't see it until I was already past it - usually that side of the road had a bunch of junk on it but it looks a little cleaner. Roadway is chewed up still so be careful if you have skinny tires.
Up near the 150's/160's [edit - above 155th] it looked like they were building a new access way that is bike friendly - though HIGH!
Stop sign up at 181th entrance to the Hudson River Greenway. If you ever do the loop you know how dangerous that intersection used to be - now cars have to stop before merging onto the highway.
At 155th and Edgecomb Ave heading towards the Harlem River Drive there's a new fenced off lane. Not sure what its purpose is though - maybe to let bicyclists coming up the hill be separate from the speeding ones downhill? Looks like lane now is really wide though which is good.
They're repaving some areas near the cruise ships - lanes are routed towards the water for a little bit so watch out for clueless pedestrians. Also seems like in the 60's the fence was extended, watch yourself towards the end heading south - it suddenly gets half as wide, seems to curve to the left but really goes to the right. Bizarre.
And it's not a path (yet anyway) but where the greenway starts at 62nd there seems to be a little park they built to the south with some benches. Hope they eventually hook that around to connect to 37th St. Hey I can hope!
