Park enters a new cycle

Brooklyn Bridge Park is about to make a key connection.

Within the next week, a new bicycle and pedestrian pathway will connect the open bookends of park space at Pier 1 and Pier 6 — almost entirely on the site of the planned 1.3-mile waterfront park in Brooklyn, officials said.

It will stretch roughly 15 blocks from Atlantic Avenue to Old Fulton Street.

A four-block stretch of the new path recently surfaced, running north from Pier 6 around the One Brooklyn Bridge Park condo complex before turning onto a barricaded two-way lane on Furman Street, from Joralemon Street until Montague Street.
