Mapped: Hudson River Greenway to the George Washington Bridge
Spurred by comments following yesterday’s post on Greenway access in Washington Heights, a reader put together this map [download the full size version] of how to get from the Greenway to the George Washington Bridge. It’s no straight shot by any means. If the arrows are a little hard to follow, here are the directions:
Stay on the path under the bridge, take the bridge over Amtrak, the tunnel under S-bound parkway, the path then switches back south then north to parallel the N-bound parkway, which it crosses at a ped bridge to Riverside Drive. Go right onto Riverside, then left on 181st up to Ft. Washington. Depending on preference and access, go to either of the bridge path entrances.
Picking up on the previous thread, for those who know this route, how would you rate it in terms of safety and convenience? For those who don’t, how likely would you be to try it? What could be done to simplify this connection, or make it safer?
