Another highway overpass is coming to the Bronx River.
This ~$900m project will have construction zones along a mile of the Cross Bronx from Boston Road to Rosedale Avenue for 5 years, passing over the Bronx River.
The Bronx River Alliance, along with partners Loving the Bronx, the Bronx Council for Environmental Quality, and others, will share information on the project, the potential benefits and potential negative impacts on the Bronx River and community, and invite community groups and members to voice their questions and perspectives.
Questions to consider:
– How do we protect our community from more air and water pollution?
– How will this project contribute to OR extract from the neighborhood?
– Do we want a Green transportation future in line with #CapTheCrossBronx?
– Do we want a Bronx with more green spaces, or more cars?
– Does this project make the Cross Bronx bigger and wider?
– Would this new connector actually benefit public transit users?
– Do the connections to parks and neighborhoods make sense?
