The Greenway: Construction begins on NJ's newest rail-to-trail park
Local, county and state officials gathered in Newark on July 15 to kick off work on the first phase of The Greenway — the state's newest park. The Greenway is a 9-mile, 100-foot-wide former rail line that stretches through Essex and Hudson counties. The rail line will be fully restored, offering residents alternative ways of transportation, various green spaces, outdoor gathering spots and other amenities. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is leading the project while the New Jersey Economic Development Authority is overseeing construction. NJ Transit is also collaborating in the project and will potentially expand the Secaucus-Meadowlands Transitway into the park. Once complete, The Greenway will connect eight municipalities: Jersey City, Secaucus, Kearny, Newark, Belleville, Bloomfield, Glen Ridge and Montclair. Story continues below embed. The Newark portion of The Greenway will span a mile from Branch Brook Park to Broadway Avenue, with the path being ADA compliant and lined with native plants. The linear path will feature downward-facing lighting and designated lanes for cyclists and walkers, encouraging safe speeds and practices for all. There will be three major gathering spaces along the path: The Newark Central Activity Center will be between Summer and Broadway Avenue. It will have a stage and lawn, playground and water play area, multi-sport courts, outdoor exercise stations, picnic tables, and restrooms. The Tiffany Manor Community Space will be located between Manchester Place and Greenwood Lake Street, across from the Tiffany Manor. This area will have central seating and space for short-term amenities, including food trucks. Rain gardens and native plants will surround the area. The Branch Brook Park Overlook will be west of the Tiffany Manor. An observation deck will be built that overlooks the 360-acre Branch Brook Park. Nearby, visitors can walk to Belleville Park and the Hendricks Field Golf Course. Story continues below video. This segment of The Greenway represents the largest single investment in state history for the development of a new state park at $69.2 million. This phase is to be completed by the end of 2026.

Untamed (2025) – Episode 6 Recap, Review & Ending Explained
All Trails Lead Here Episode 6 of Untamed Season 1 starts with Shane hunting an injured Kyle throughout the woods. Kyle tries to treat his wounds as he keeps going. Back at his house, Naya drops by to check on him. She keeps calling him but gets the voicemail every time. Does Shane kill Kyle? Their little hunting game goes on for hours. Kyle keeps moving, but by nightfall, he has lost too much blood. Shane corners him and is about to kill him. Luckily, Naya shows up just in time to save Kyle and kill Shane. Kyle is rushed to the hospital, where he is treated and makes a quick recovery. He thanks Naya for saving his life, and she thanks him for teaching her about the woods. By the looks of it, Naya is planning to hang around permanently. What happened to Sean Sanderson? After getting back home, Jill comes clean to Scott about what happened to Sean. As we suspected, Sean was the pervert who killed Caleb. Thanks to Shane's motion cameras in the park, Kyle and Jill found out what Sean did. Kyle wanted to collect more evidence and bring Sean in. Unfortunately, Jill didn't want to endure the long legal procedure for justice. She went behind Kyle's back and paid Shane to blackmail, lure, and kill Sean. After confessing to Scott, Jill visits Kyle at the hospital and promises she will be okay. She begs him to promise the same, but he can't. He still sees and talks to Caleb and doesn't want to let go. After his discharge, Kyle agrees to sign whatever papers Esther needs to prove her wrongful death liability case. What happens to Lucy's case? Even after Shane's death, Kyle continues to blame himself for her death. He tries to seek answers to what life she led before her death. He allows the chief to give Lucy a native burial. With no job at the park anymore, Kyle leaves for Nevada to follow a lead. Souter tries to discourage him from pursuing the case, but Kyle insists. In Nevada, he finds out that Lucy lived with the Gibbs family. The family took advantage of many kids by hiding behind a religious mask. Kyle learns that Lucy/ Grace went through a lot in that foster home. She always believed her cop father would come to save her. When he didn't, Lucy ran away and returned to the woods. Hearing this, Kyle puts the pieces together and calls Souter. They meet by the lake, and Souter comes clean about his sins. Lucy was his daughter, but he kidnapped and left her with the Gibbs family. He thought Lucy would be safer there than with her stepfather, Roger. After Lucy returned, she started blackmailing Souter. Ultimately, he killed her to 'protect' his family and marriage. Kyle refuses to help Souter cover up the crimes. To escape his punishment, Souter kills himself. How does Untamed end? Kyle finally says goodbye to Caleb and chooses to leave. He leaves his horse and Caleb's toys to Naya. The chief is proud to see Kyle finally try to move on. The Episode Review What a shocking twist! All this time, Souter knew Lucy was his child and said nothing. He watched the medical examiner perform the post-mortem on the daughter he killed and didn't even bat an eye! What made it worse was that he was too much of a coward to face the consequences of his actions. How dare he try to justify his actions? Where was his love and loyalty to his family when he cheated and sired Lucy? The pain that Lucy went through could have been entirely avoided if he had chosen to own his mistakes and do the right thing. The more I think about it, the more infuriating it is. With the case closed, Kyle can finally get some closure. He has been haunted by what happened to Caleb for many years. While we don't agree with Jill's action, we understand. Sean actively sought out a child and then killed him. Any parent would have gone temporarily insane after seeing what Caleb went through at Sean's hands. Ain't it ironic that Jill killed to avenge her child while Souter killed his child to hide his shame! Overall, Untamed is a gripping mystery show. It is a worthwhile slow burn with amazing cinematography. The acting is top-notch, and viewers quickly get immersed in the characters' pain and struggles. If you are looking for a show to binge-watch this weekend, Untamed is a good choice.
