context_page_description: The East River Greenway is an approximately 9.44-mile-long foreshoreway for walking or cycling on the east side of the island of Manhattan on the East River. It is part of the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway. The largest portions are operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. It is separated from motor traffic, and many sections also separate pedestrians from cyclists. The greenway is parallel to the Franklin D. Roosevelt East River Drive for a majority of its length.
  Parts of the greenway were built at different times. Most of the greenway was built in the 1930 to 1950s in conjunction with the nearby FDR Drive, with exceptions:
  Waterside Plaza: 1973
  East River Waterfront: Late 1990s
  Stuyvesant Cove: 2002
  United Nations portion: 2015–24
context_section_description: The next part of the greenway is the Captain Patrick J. Brown Walk (at 40°43′51″N 73°58′23″W), a brick-paved walkway that connects Stuyvesant Cove Park on the north to East River Park to the south. Designed for use by pedestrians and cyclists, it runs approximately between 15th and 18th streets, and Avenues C and D, and was named in 2002.
  It was named after Captain Patrick J. Brown, a firefighter who died in the September 11 attacks, and who lived in nearby Stuyvesant Town.
  The East River Blueway plan between 38th Street and the Brooklyn Bridge, released on February 7, 2013, would elevate the walkway above the FDR Drive, with ramps rising to a gradual pedestrian bridge located where the 15th Street bottleneck is now. Then-Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer pledged $3.5 million toward the whole plan.
