From Highbridge to the Harlem: Reconnecting the Bronx to it’s Waterfront

Janes Walk

Led By Chauncy Young, Harlem River Coalition

Starting at the Historical High Bridge, we will look at some of the infrastructure and obstacles that separate the Bronx from the Harlem River Waterfront. We will proceed to walk along the river’s edge, discuss the history of water recreation along its shores and a vision for reconnecting the community to its waterfront, and once again providing community members on-water recreational activities.

Participants should come prepared to walk over a mile and we will start and end in the same neighborhood.

Accessibility

This is an accessible route, although there is plenty of walking.

Location Information

RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
