This may seem like a silly question at this stage of the clean up, but does anyone know whether the path north of George Washington Bridge to Dyckman Street is passable, or is it strewn with fallen trees, limbs etc? I am guessing that if the latter, the clear-up crews have higher priorities, so it may take a some days to clear. For that matter, does anyone have information on what the path is like south of the bridge, down to midtown. I took the Subway this morning, but I am itching to resume the bike commute as soon as possible. Thanks in advance for any information.

minor debris on sides of road

1 tree down on one lane in Rockleigh--same in Demarest--I would expect them to be cleared today

River Road closed--Police said it would probably be a few days not a few weeks

Huge improvement in Piermont--yesterday's flooding mostly abated--stores and major roads open

I'll try to check out Bradley/Tweed this aft

"Nick Turner drove past a group of 16 construction workers sitting on a curb, and 32 eyeballs locked onto the car he’d built. A guy walking into Office Depot laughed with delight and said, “I knew the economy was bad, but this is ridiculous!” Outside a bar the other night, drunk people were lining up for rides, hanging off the back of the car and asking how they could get one, too.

CANCELED - Sea Kayak Connecticut has withdrawn due to a scheduling conflict. We'll try again in late Spring 2012.

Join Ken & Marilyn Weissman on this all-class ride to Piermont, where we'll meet the folks from Sea Kayak Connecticut at about 10 AM. Then instead of the usual pedal to the Runcible Spoon, we'll paddle kayaks--under the Tappan Zee Bridge to Nyack--seeing all those beautiful homes we view along Piermont Avenue with fresh eyes... from the river side. Marilyn and Ken paddle this easy, scenic route monthly in season.

Thinking about riding to work from 181st to Battery Park using the greenway path. Any first hand experience on the current conditions? 

It was suppossed to be on today at 2pm on NBC but the storm has overtaken their broadcast.  Anyone see where it is airing?  On a side note: Versus has had a hard time getting the broadcast of the race without picture break-up, freezing and actually full on missing lots of the action.   I was so looking forward to seeing the race brought to television and seeing the incredible mountain roads of the state I love, but I've been severely disappointed. 

Central Park is a bit of a mess - trees and limbs down across the road.  They're not letting people in, so it's hard to assess the full extent of the damage.  But crews were already out starting to clean it up before 11:00 this morning.  I imagine the drive will be open to cars by tomorrow morning's rush, but there's no guarantee.  I'll walk over there this evening and see if I can get a better assessment.

The usual flood prone areas are under water:  the area and small streets around the Goswick Pavillion, library & post office.  The main commercial street and the bike shop building area and parking lots are OK.  There might  one tree down in the village.  Both roads along the canal (Sparkill Creek) Ferdon and one by Canzano's deli are flooded and closed.  Power was lost during the night for an hour or two. Apparently the only connections with the outside world are up Ash or to Nyack.  Piermont Community Market just opened--the only open store.  I am sure that other areas near streams and hills are also flooded and have down trees.
