There is practically nowhere you can go in New York City without seeing or experiencing the impact that Robert Moses had on the city and many of the surrounding areas. After being sworn in as the Commissioner of NYC Parks in 1934, Moses set about renovating and building a number of parks across the city.

The Hudson River seperates the west side of Manhattan from New Jersey. The Hudson River Greenway stretches from the George Washington Bridge to Battery Park. A portion of the greenway runs through what was once a railroad yard for the New York Central Railroad. The 69th Street Transfer Bridge is being restored.
