The [[Hudson River Waterfront Walkway]] is a state-mandated master plan to connect the municipalities from the [[Bayonne Bridge]] to the [[George Washington Bridge]] creating an {{cvt|18|mi|km|adj=on}}-long urban linear park and provide contiguous unhindered access to the water's edge. By law, any development on the waterfront must provide a public promenade with a minimum width of {{cvt|30|ft|m}}. To date, completed segments in Hoboken and the new parks and renovated piers that abut them are at [[Hoboken Terminal]], [[Landmarks of Hoboken, New Jersey#Pier A Park|Pier A]], the promenade and bike path from Newark to 5th Streets, [[Frank Sinatra Park]], [[Landmarks of Hoboken, New Jersey#Castle Point Park|Castle Point Park]], Sinatra Drive to 12th to 14th Streets, New York Waterway Pier, 14th Street Pier, and 14th Street north to southern side of Weehawken Cove. Other segments of river-front held privately are not required to build a walkway until the land is re-developed.<ref>[http://www.hudsonriverwaterfront.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=11&Itemid=10 FAQs] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190820175311/http://www.hudsonriverwaterfront.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=11&Itemid=10 |date=August 20, 2019 }}, Hudson River Waterfront Conservancy.
