On Nov. 13, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection presented designs for the inaugural section of the Greenway in Newark at an open house event at Park Elementary School.
In Newark, the Greenway will stretch nearly a mile from Branch Brook Park to Broadway. Groundbreaking for the Newark portion of the Greenway is expected in 2025.

ABOUT THE GREENWAYÂ
When complete, the Greenway will connect eight Essex and Hudson county communities – Jersey City, Secaucus, Kearny, Newark, Belleville, Bloomfield, Glen Ridge and Montclair. The Greenway is an opportunity to create a linear multi-modal recreational and transit corridor enabling seamless walking, biking and transit opportunities between Montclair and Jersey City, while providing opportunities for community connection and regional environmental improvements.  Â
Governor Phil Murphy announced the acquisition of the Greenway in September 2022. Since then, the DEP – along with its interagency partners at the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, NJ TRANSIT and New Jersey Department of Transportation – has been working to bring this once-in-a-generation parks project to life. Â
