The proposed northern NJ Greenway will span 9 different towns, many of which historically do not have access to public green space. The park will connect Montclair to Jersey City, and pass through Glen Ridge, Bloomfield, Belleville, Newark, Kearny, and Secaucus along the way.

We couldn’t have gotten this far without our community and its leaders! The greenway has been a dream for decades. Thanks to all who have supported this project over the years!

Did you know that The Greenway will provide an opportunity to incorporate stormwater management facilities into the design of the trail? Stormwater management practices and state-of-the-art "green infrastructure" will help alleviate existing issues with combined sewer overflows.

Greenways bring history to life by repurposing historically significant infrastructure. In 1868, the old Boonton Line - the location of the proposed Greenway - played a key role in founding the Township of Montclair.

Greenways are an incredibly effective conservation tool. By connecting different areas of otherwise fragmented ecosystems, greenways provide opportunities for protecting plant and animal species. They improve air and water quality, reduce pollution, and foster natural life.

By creating a space for outdoor social interaction, greenways are a promising tool to help foster neighborhood identity. Once complete, the proposed Greenway will create a channel for recreation, transportation, and community building.

Cycling can shorten commute times, save money, and improve health, but did you know there are also economic benefits? Social cost-benefit analyses show that high-quality cycling infrastructure can raise the value of surrounding properties and increase municipal revenue.

Reducing carbon emissions through electrification is part of the solution, but the solution must also include shifting trips from cars to transit, walking, and bicycling. The proposed Greenway will help accelerate the green transition in New Jersey.

Once complete, the greenway will offer residents transportation alternatives and easy access to nature for a range of activities including walking, biking, running, and birding. The greenway project also sets the stage for enhanced local economic activity.

Regular physical activity can minimize the risk of chronic disease. But while half of US adults have 1+ preventable chronic disease, less than third are exercising enough. Greenways offer better opportunities to maintain active lifestyles, compared to parks or smaller trails.

Greenways are critical to wildlife conservation. Acting as a buffer, greenways provide a protective barrier between wildlife and human activities, such as urban development, pollution, and noise. Greenways also act as vital wildlife corridors, connecting fragmented habitats.
