You obviously haven't visited the nyc.gov website. Or looked at a 2007
NYC bike map, it shows the path quite clearly.
The city rebuilt the Hutch path a year or two ago. It starts at
Pelham Parkway and ends at the nasty intersection of Bruckner
Blvd and Brush Street.
The path moves from the east side to the west side of the Hutch south of
Westchester Avenue due to the presence of Herbert Lehman High School,
which was built over the original path's right-of-way (and up to the
Hutchison River's pier and bulkhead line, if I'm not mistaken). You can
still access the dead-end ****tion of that path (it's interesting, has
some nice river views, but will require a bit of bushwacking) from the
southern side of the new path.
