Gov. Hochul's plan to construct a mile-long, four-lane highway in the Bronx, presented as a 'community connector,' faces criticism for its potential adverse environmental impacts.
Nilka Martell, founder of Loving The Bronx, highlights the community’s resistance, saying, 'They’re pulling the wool over the community's eyes,' as the new lanes won’t serve those who need them most.
Critics note that the promised bus lanes in the project won't benefit commuters since there are currently no bus routes running on that section of the Bronx.
The project's emphasis on bike and pedestrian amenities seems disingenuous, as it primarily caters to drivers while neglecting existing public transportation needs in the area.
