The HRWC regrets and honors the passing of Hon. Brendan Byrne. Governor Byrne was the guiding force behind the legislation that created the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway at a time when the Hudson River waterfront was a jumble of abandoned railroads, decaying factories and warehouses. We will remember him for his vision and leadership but also his sense of humor. He was a valued friend of the Conservancy and we will miss him.
