Between Dyckman Street and West 201st Street it is difficult to access the waterfront because of the various private owners and municipal uses there. In many sections the waterfront is fenced-off and inaccessible to the public. Waterfront properties in this section are occupied by the Department of Parks & Recreation, Con Edison, New York City Transit, the Department of Business Services, the Department of Sanitation, and Paragon Cable. While it is unlikely that all these entities would agree to a greenway through their properties, consistent with the City’s Sherman Creek Task Force plans, a waterfront path between these two streets is envisioned for some undetermined time in the future DCP’s current recommendation is that a permanent route be put in place on Tenth Avenue, though eventually some sort of cantilevered structure may be possible.
