Andrew Cuomo, former HUD Secretary and a Democratic candidate for governor of New York State, called on the State Department of Transportation to study a community proposal to remove the Sheridan Expressway in favor of riverfront parkland or another local use and build a new interchange off the Bruckner Expressway at Leggett Avenue. 

Cuomo said community-based planning to revitalize neighborhoods is the national normand that the State DOT should take the proposal seriously. He made the announcement at a press conference Friday on the 174^th Street Bridge overlooking the highway.
