The NYC Parks Dept blatantly lied to the community regarding its plans for the Putnam Trail project in the Bronx. It makes those who stand by and allow these lies to continue complicit in the lies.
The NYC Parks Dept told the community that:

This statement is completely false. A stone dust trail totally adheres to ADA guidelines and is wheelchair accessible
