East Midtown Greenway

What is the East Midtown Greenway Project?

The East Midtown Greenway is a project that is managed by theĀ New York City Economic Development CorporationĀ (EDC) but involves multiple city agencies.Ā The project seeks to build a greenway from 53rd to 61st Streets to begin to connect the disjointed segments of Community Districts 6ā€™s waterfront esplanade; provide waterfront access and public open space for the residents of our district and the public at large; and to link our districtā€™s waterfront esplanade with the continuous esplanade that exists north of East 60thĀ Street.
