	Staten Island Expressway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Staten Island Expressway is widely regarded as an important demographic boundary since, due to coincidence or not, virtually all of the island's African-American population, and the vast majority of its Hispanic population, resides in the approximately one-fourth of the island's total area which is situated north of the expressway.
		The portion of the island north of the highway is also coterminous with the territory served by the 120th Precinct of the NYPD, one of the three police precincts located on Staten Island, and also one of the island's three Community Board districts.

	Wired New York Forum - Staten Island Growth Management Task Force
		Staten Island, with just under half a million people, has a third of the population of any other borough.
		Many are lured to the island because it offers the character of a suburb at a fraction of the price of New Jersey or Long Island and because, while it is arguably removed from New York City, it is still a part of it.
		Because the island was a collection of self-reliant villages and hamlets until 1898, Staten Islanders have not, with a few notable exceptions, been much for boroughwide uprisings.

	Staten Island Greenbelt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Staten Island Greenbelt is a system of contiguous public parkland and natural areas in the central hills of Staten Island, New York, United States.
		In contrast to other parks such as Central Park and Prospect Park, the Greenbelt is maintained in a more natural state, both in the forested hills and the lowlying wetlands.
		In the 1960s, the original route of the Richmond Parkway called for a section of the parkway to be built in the area, but community opposition prevented construction, and the parkway instead now terminates near the intersection of Arthur Kill Road and Richmond Avenue in the island's Greenridge section, south of the Greenbelt.

		In a follow-up to 2002's Hot Spot visit, the Crew continued to work with land managers and politicians toward the compatibility of mountain bike use in NYC Parks and educating mountain bikers on sustainable trail design, construction, and maintenance.

		It has maturing forest, soil that is very conducive to sustainable trails, views across the water, and it is so close to millions of people." Though a tough political path lies ahead of NYC mountain biking advocates, so much positive energy and momentum can only lead to good things.
