To honor the 50th anniversary of the passing of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Law in 1965, Bike New York will be partnering with the Randall’s Island Park Alliance for a historical tour of Randall’s Island. As we pedal through fields and woods, and over rivers and marshes, we will learn from park staff and other local officials about the unique history of Randall’s Island. We will see landmarks such as the Hell Gate Bridge (the strongest Bridge in New York), Icahn stadium (built on the site where Jesse Owens qualified for the 1936 Berlin Olympics) and the Robert Moses Building (home of the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, from where Moses enacted plans to drastically alter the built environment of New York City).
