Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday the
completion of the Ocean Parkway Coastal Greenway’s third and final section in
Babylon.
The final section allows cyclists,
runners, skaters, and walkers to enjoy the scenic waterfront.
The 10-mile path runs from Tobay Bach to
Captree State Park in the towns of Babylon and Islip and was completed three
months ahead of schedule.
New
plantings were added along the path, as well as safety precautions for
pedestrians.
"We are making record investments in
our tourism industry and state infrastructure to enrich the lives of Long
Island residents," says Gov. Cuomo. “The completion of this project, three
months ahead of schedule, is a testament to our commitment to bringing safe and
smart transportation alternatives to Long Island all while highlighting Long
Island's natural beauty and rich beachside history."
