Your voice counts.

South Bronx

Lower Concourse Rezoning proposal

City Council Hearing

Tuesday, June 23, 9:30 AM

High-rises and higher rents on the Harlem River?
Manufacturing jobs lost to lofts?


Or a public park at Park Avenue for the existing communities?

Zoning & Franchises COMMITTEE
Tuesday, June 23, 9:30 AM
Committee Room - City Hall

Be there, the public can testify. Tell them we want the Park Avenue site on the Harlem River to be made into a public park with resources now! No more studies and reports.

Email us for more information. Pass this on. Encourage our elected officials to be there.
