Description
The Pelham Parkway bicycle path east of White Plains Road. “The Parks Department website says “Bicycling was an integral part of the New Deal work relief projects of the 1930s and 1940s. The Moses administration planned bicycle paths using WPA funds along the Harlem River Speedway, in Hillside Park in Queens, along the center strip of Pelham Parkway in the Bronx”.” (https://kermitproject.org)
