Southern Bronx River Watershed Alliance - working for a community-led transformation of the Sheridan Expressway corridor since 1999.

Our June 7 freedom of information request about the #Edgewaterdisaster #Sheridanexpansion data still has NOT been answered. But the comment period was closed July 31. The State says it needs more time but won’t afford the public the same right. #opentheEIS

[SBRWA @sbrwa]

Advocates, as well as a 2013 city study, recommended a different method...they believe would lead truck traffic to stay on the Bruckner and avoid the new pedestrian-friendly boulevard section of the Sheridan. https://t.co/Cd2QHnyVNd

Goes back to what folks at @sbrwa @THEPOINTCDC @_ympj and local residents asked for - reducing the width Sheridan to give more space back to the community. It's not a meaningful improvement to remove elevated highway and add crossings to access the riverfront.

[Joan Byron @JoanByron]

Residents of the South Bronx, Williamsburg, and the Lower East Side have all proposed smart alternatives to highway business-as-usual; New York City & New York State need to follow their lead. @sbrwa

[SBRWA @sbrwa]

That’s accurate - it’s actually costing less than $98 million because the State refused to reduce lanes or change the footprint.

@lawhawk @StvBurns @wcbs880 @angtovar The associated expansion of the roadway involves a taking a portion of Concrete Plant Park to build a ramp and other new barriers to parkland on Edgewater Road.

[Steve Burns @StvBurns]

Construction is set to start next week on converting the Sheridan Expressway into an "urban boulevard". It's what advocates like @sbrwa have been fighting for for decades...but they're not happy about this news. @angtovar calls this moment "bittersweet." https://t.co/NbMSvQiPEE

Steve Burns of @wcbs880 found it curious that the @NYGovCuomo press release only quoted @MarcosCrespo85 @Salamancajr80 @rubendiazjr @LuisSepulvedaNY — thanks for thinking to ask S. Bx community! Someone should!

Angela Tovar of @THEPOINTCDC tells @wcbs880 right now the way the #Edgewaterdisaster plan compromises the Sheridan Boulevard

[SBRWA @sbrwa]

What’s notable about today? Not the rain. Today is DAY 104 since we filed a Freedom of Information request for the files the #Edgewaterdisaster ramp plan is based on. @THEPOINTCDC @Momsonthemove1 @NosQuedamos @prattcenter @_ympj @Tri_State @BxRiverAlliance @NY4P @RTBbronx
