TROY – The city will use a $400,000 grant to create its first official connection to the recently completed Empire State Trail.
According to Mayor Patrick Madden, Hudson River Valley Greenway grant will be used in the creation of a separated trail across the Green Island Bridge that will link the city s existing urban bike and pedestrian trail network to the 750-mile statewide system that runs from Buffalo and the Canadian Border in the north, to New York City.
The aid will create a trail head at the Green Island Parking Lot (located in Troy immediately north of the Green Island Bridge). The project will directly connect Troy’s Riverwalk to the Empire State Trail by installing a protected bicycle and pedestrian trail on the northern side of the bridge, Madden s office said.
