The Croton Aqueduct trail has not changed much in the last few years.
Around 3 or 4 years ago, the ****tion approaching Palisade Ave and
Ashburton
Ave was fixed up, instead of having to ****tage your bike up a steep,
brambly and trash-strewn hill, you can now ride straight through.
The South County Trailway was extended in the last year or two, the
southern terminus was extended from Barney Street in Yonkers down
to Tuckahoe Road, and an additional section was paved from Redmond Park
down to the Bronx line, leaving only a single "missing link" from Redmond
Park to Tuckahoe Road (which you can ride on a hybrid or mountain bike,
but it ain't low-impact).
I don't think much has changed on the North County Trailway, except that
a new highway ramp on Route 100 north of 117 has uglified a formerly nice
section of the trail.
The Bronx River path has a new section in Scarsdale - it's a little weird
and narrow in places, but p***** by some nice stuff.
