June 20, 2022
Share
The East Midtown Greenway is getting New York City one step closer to a completed greenway loop around Manhattan. The project, led by New York City Economic Development Corporation, designed by Stantec and constructed by Skanska, will add 1.8 acres of park space, walkway, and bikeway on an in-water structure in the East River.
