This Week: West Side Greenway Changes, Giovanni Nin Memorial

A late addition to the Streetsblog calendar that Hudson River Greenway users will want to squeeze into their schedules tonight: Community Board 7's Parks and Recreation committee will hear from the Parks Department about changes to the greenway in Riverside Park intended to reduce conflicts between pedestrians and cyclists. The greenway can get uncomfortably crowded on some sections at some times, but the Parks Departments tends not to produce the best ideas to address the problem. Turn out tonight if you want a safe, comfortable, convenient greenway route for everyone in Riverside Park.

Check the Streetsblog calendar for the full list of this week’s events.

    • Monday: Turn out tonight to see how the new Riverside Park Master Plan could affect the Hudson River Greenway. 7:00 p.m.
    • Also Monday: On the agenda for the Manhattan CB 5 transportation committee: The Tri-State Transportation Campaign will have a presentation on the RFP process for the new Port Authority Bus Terminal; the MTA will present on Canarsie Tunnel repairs (a.k.a. the L train shutdown); and DOT and the MTA will provide an update on M23 Select Bus Service. 6 p.m.
    • Wednesday: The MTA will host a presentation and feedback session on Canarsie Tunnel work for Manhattan CBs 6 and 3. 6:30 p.m.
    • Thursday: Join the Transportation Alternatives Bronx Committee for a Ghost Bike dedication and memorial ride in honor of Giovanni Nin, who was killed by a hit-and-run driver on June 11, 2016. 6:30 p.m.
