The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.
It initially started as a series of Streetsblog investigations and coverage of the state Department of Transportation’s plan to build a road parallel to the Cross Bronx Expressway — a roadway that everyone knows would bring traffic and death to the long-suffering borough.
But today, that coverage and focus has led to a huge victory for the livable streets movement: The state DOT has backed down and will not expand the Cross Bronx.
Hat tip to Dave Colon for spearheading our coverage. Please send the Pulitzer to dcolon@streetsblog.org.
A huge sweep for the kind of candidates that Streetsblog readers like. Plus other news.
