A Greenway Planned to Traverse Long Island

Back in 2017, New York State embarked on ambitious plan to create the Empire State Trail — a 750-mile network of multipurpose biking and hiking trails crossing the state from Buffalo in the west and Plattsburgh in the north to New York City.

It’s no small feat that this trail network was completed in just three years, but there is one glaring omission — none of these trails are on Long Island, where 7 million New Yorkers live, if you include Brooklyn and Queens, which are geographically on the island.

The Trust for Public Land is hoping to change that.

The New Renaissance

We’ve been surprised this winter, everywhere we go, to see crowds of people jamming themselves into library basements to hear concerts, cramming into town board rooms to make their voices heard and taking to the beaches in droves to raise money to help our neighbors in need.
