The Hatfield Connector, the final portion of the Central Lawrenceville Neighborway, has been completed in under three months.
City officials announced Tuesday that the shared-use pedestrian and bike path closes a gap between 50
th and 51
st streets.
This particular portion of the bike network runs between Central Lawrenceville from 40
th and Willow Streets and Upper Lawrenceville and Stanton Heights.
The plan to build the connector was hatched in 2019, with a goal of creating a route that’s comfortable for a wider variety of cyclists by avoiding high-vehicle traffic areas, according to Eric Setzler of the city’s Department of Mobility and Infrastructure.
