Happy Wednesday, neighbors! I am your host, Patrick Murray here with three fresh headlines to kick off your day.

First, today's weather:

Partly cloudy with a high of 43 and a low of 36.

Here are the top stories today in Brooklyn:

1. NYC Parks announced plans to expand upon and add new greenways in Brooklyn and Queens. In Brooklyn, the proposed plan would improve access to the waterfront by connecting Shore Parkway from Leif Erikson Park to Coney Island. The goal is to make is easier to get around the borough by walking and biking by connecting these existing greenways. (Time Out New York)
