The following statement can be attributed to Rob Freudenberg, Vice President, Energy & Environment, Regional Plan Association:

RPA is proud to support the expansion of the greenway network throughout the city, which builds on many of the principles included in RPA’s Five Borough Bikeway report. Greenways provide New Yorkers with healthy and low-carbon ways of transportation that make the city safer and more sustainable. Of particular importance are high-capacity, protected bike lanes which make biking more accessible and equitable to people of all races, incomes and backgrounds. RPA is thrilled to continue to partner on this work, and we would like to congratulate Mayor Adams and his administration on this announcement.
