This page describes the state of the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway in 2004. It was developed as an overview of the planning process at that time. Current information about this and other components of New York City's bicycle network can be found at the Department of Transportation website.

West 145th Street to West 150th Street along the Harlem River is leased by the city to Esplanade Gardens Housing, which currently uses the waterfront for parking and garbage dumpsters. Though Esplanade Gardens has so far not been amenable to the suggestion of rearranging its parking lot to accommodate a greenway, the City is confident that an agreement can be reached and a shared-use path will be implemented in the near future.
