Around the Region: Community-friendly Concourse
Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer called two weeks ago for a major overhaul of the Grand Concourse, which runs from the South Bronx to Mosholu Parkway near Van Cortland Park. He allocated $500,000 to get the job underway. The rehab would add attractive pedestrian space and reduce the highway-like feel that past work has given the boulevard. NYC DOT has in fact been working on designs for the neighborhood-friendly rehab for several years.
