The planning of a Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway began in 1993 when the Department of City Planning (DCP) identified the Brooklyn Waterfront Trail Greenway as a priority route among the 350 miles of trails described in the Greenway Plan for New York City. In 1998, DCP released its Preliminary Design and Summary Report for the 4.7-mile Brooklyn Waterfront Trail.

Building from these original proposals, waterfront residents, elected officials, and other greenway advocates started a campaign first to realize, and then to expand this proposal. Today the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway is envisioned as a 14-mile multi-use trail crossing Community Boards 1, 2, 6 & 7 from Greenpoint through Sunset Park; connecting the proposed Queens waterfront greenway with Brooklyn’s Shore Parkway Esplanade.

This draft plan has been developed by Regional Plan Association (RPA) and Brooklyn Greenway Initiative (BGI) with the support of the Department of State’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program and sponsored by the Brooklyn Borough President’s office.
