User Study Launched on Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway
Brooklyn Greenway Initiative (BGI) launched a comprehensive user study of the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway that will measure the mobility, environmental, economic, health and social impacts of the greenway. The study will use a computer vision sensor and data platform to document how many people use the protected pedestrian and cycling route and how.
“The Greenway is meant to serve all ages and abilities,” said Terri Carta, executive director of BGI. “For too long, implementation of New York City’s greenway network has been opportunistic and reactive to other capital projects and public works. This study will generate the data we need to take a more strategic approach.”
Working with Brooklyn-based data company Numina, BGI will conduct the two-year study in partnership with local communities, multiple Brooklyn-based organizations, and public agencies including the New York City Department of Transportation, Department of Parks and Recreation, and Economic Development Corporation.
