Does this mean the northern and southern ends are now connected?
Traveling
from north to south, I've always left the trail in Hartsdale, driven
through
a neighborhood, passed through Scarsdale via Garth Avenue, then connected
to
the southern end. The piece just north of the Hartsdale train station was
always in poor shape, at one point passing under a very low bridge that
was
always flooded out. Do you kow if that section has been upgraded?
