Bike Maps from Philly to NYC

Here are some Bike Maps that cover some of the ground between Philadelphia and New York. The
sections I refer to in this email are the sliced sections of the online maps. All of these maps can
be accessed from the Transportation Alternatives map page http://www.transalt.org/info/maps.html

Great resources! Be careful about the Goethals Bridge, however. The bike path was closed some years
ago. Although it is supposed to reopen someday, I believe that day is still a ways off.

By all means correct me if I have that wrong.

AFAIK you are correct and the Goethals bridge bike path has not been usable in some time. The
timeline that the Port Authority would like to follow for repairing the bike/ped path on that bridge
would likely be concurrent with the construction of the new "twin" Goethals bridge in say - 2008.
