We are excited to announce that @USDOT awarded $150 million to make the Cross Bronx Expway more pedestrian and public transit friendly. There’s much to do to address the injustices of the Robert Moses era, and this is a step in the right direction. Next we #CaptheCrossBronx.

[Loving The Bronx @lovingthebronx]

So proud of educators Philip Panaritis, Justin Czarka, the students of P.S. 48 and the good folks at the Hunts Point Slave Burial ground project for advocating throughout the years for this designation. Congratulations!

Parks & open spaces are essential to NYC. We stand w/ @ny4p & call on @NYCMayor to #PlayFair. This was one of his campaign promises & we MUST hold elected officials accountable to the promises they make when they are trying to secure our votes! 1% for Parks! The time is NOW!

[New Yorkers for Parks @NY4P]

NY4P and the #PlayFairCoalition are calling on @NYCMayor and @NYCCouncil [@NYCSpeakerAdams @justinbrannan @CMBrooksPowers @CMShekarK] to allocate #1Percent4Parks and fund essential @NYCParks jobs and programs!

Inadvertently referred to as "Love In the Bronx" but y'all know who we are @lovingthebronx #BronxStrong

The 6.5-mile Cross-Bronx Expressway divides the borough in half. Robert Moses "tore out the hearts of a score of neighborhoods," Robert Caro wrote in The Power Broker, and the aftermath has meant "decades of neglect and disinvestment" in the communities. https://t.co/8Rg9Le8bGi

[Loving The Bronx @lovingthebronx]

The Bronx is ready to #CapTheCrossBronx !!!!

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

I encouraged @SecretaryPete to support these projects

They will right the wrongs of the past—the environmental injustice of the Cross Bronx Expressway, the accessibility of Broadway Junction to ALL

And with this #InfrastructureBill, help is on the way

Most folks told us it couldn't get done, but we persisted!

Exhaust fumes from the heavily traveled Cross-Bronx Expressway have contributed to increased asthma rates in surrounding neighborhoods over the half-century since Robert Moses's plan for the highway disrupted and dislocated communities of color. https://t.co/EXthq2okKB

We feel the love! #CapTheCrossBronx

[Marjorie Velázquez @mvelaznyc]

The Cross Bronx Expressway displaced 40K NYers and spiked asthma, disease, & air pollution all in vulnerable communities

@RepRitchie @KarinesReyes87 @NilkaMartell @MVelazNYC & I are fighting for fed funding from the infrastructure bill to redesign the CBE sustainably, equitably
