Why not post a little about the Cross Bronx RAISE grant?

It’s a really exciting opportunity.

@atthenius @RitchieTorres it looks like the $2m will all get spent on the study. Where will the funding for the actual project come from?

Mr. Torres, if you want to make an immediate impact, find out why the NYPD 46th Pct allows local car shops to use Jerome Ave b/t Featherbed Ln and 175th Street as a parking lot, blocking lanes of traffic on both sides, sometimes quadruple parked, on the sidewalk, and narrowing traffic to one lane at a major highway junction.
