Pathways to the River: Hackensack’s Mission to Reconnect with Its Waterfront
the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Hackensack NJ, For years, the Hackensack River, which defines the city’s eastern boundary, has been an invisible asset. Blocked by industrial sites, overdevelopment, and busy roadways, residents have struggled to access the beautiful waterway. Now, a new project called Pathways to the River aims to change that, fundamentally transforming Hackensack into a true riverfront city.
Led by the Northern New Jersey Community Foundation and the Hackensack Environmental Justice Alliance, the initiative seeks to create a seamless network of accessible paths and walkways along the river’s edge.
