The NYC and NYS Departments of Transportation issued a report on a two-year visioning study for the Cross Bronx Expressway to address community issues such as public health, safety, and congestion. This community-focused effort reveals short-, middle-, and long-term goals, including proposals for street redesign, enhanced public transport, and green spaces above the highway. Resident involvement has been key, identifying how the highway divides neighborhoods and contributes to local health issues. Projects will commence in 2025, focusing on safety measures and improved connectivity.
The Cross Bronx Expressway project aims to reconnect communities disrupted by the highway for over 50 years, focusing on health, safety, and open space.
Community involvement was critical in shaping the final vision report, highlighting the need for improved public health, safety, and accessibility in the Bronx.
Deputy Mayor Meera Joshi emphasized the importance of the community’s feedback in creating a healthier, more walkable Bronx through this multi-year study.
The study proposes immediate projects starting in 2025, including street redesigns to enhance safety, public transit reliability, and increased bicycle accessibility.
