The George Washington Bridge renovation and restoration is quite impressive. The PA just finished replacing all the vertical suspension cables.

Its possible to cap portions of the Cross-Bronx Expressway. Expensive? Yes, but it is doable and could reconnect communities divided by the highway.

Imagine a cross bronx…subway line! The Bronx is very well connected by transit the problem is its too Manhattan centric.

Capping the CBE can be done in phases. The city should select one or two segments to get this off the ground. Having grown up in the Bronx I’m sure this would be successful and a good investment into the quality of life in the borough.

“The entire development, known as Columbia Street Commons, will include three buildings of entirely affordable housing, the last of which will include 81 supportive housing units for the formerly homeless, Devine said. The team plans to start construction on the first phase of the project, which is expected to cost $234 million, in January and finish work in 28 months.”

A good replacement - the location has a long way to go, and will be very close to where Amazon is building their warehouses

Blows my mind NYCHA didn’t demolish those red hook projects when sandy hit and it got massively damaged. prime real estate
So nice to see so much additional affordable housing built there as opposed to another warehouse or distribution center.
