These neighborhoods are part of Bronx Community Board 5.[2] Fordham is roughly bordered by Fordham Road to the north, Southern Boulevard to the east, East 183rd Street to the south, and Jerome Avenue to the west. The neighborhood's primary thoroughfare is Fordham Road; its main subway line is the IND Concourse Line (B D trains), operating under the Grand Concourse, with the IRT Jerome Avenue Line (4 train) on its western border. ZIP codes include 10453, 10457, 10458 and 10468. Fordham has a population of around 43,394 people. Its first growth was in the 1920s, when middle-class and working-class families from Manhattan flocked into the area, attracted by the then-modern housing and convenient subway access by Concourse, Jerome Avenue, and Third/Webster Avenues lines to business districts in Manhattan where they could work and shop. It is now predominately Latin American and African American. There is a significant historic Italian and Albanian population as well. Fordham is dominated by 5- and 6-story apartment buildings, often set flush to the sidewalk. Many of the apartments on the Grand Concourse are taller. The New York Botanical Garden and the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo, both inside Bronx Park, collectively occupy dozens of acres of land within the neighborhood. Fordham University maintains its historic original campus on much of the former Rose Hill Manor in the center of the neighborhood. It is one of the largest "green" campuses in New York City, and its traditional collegiate gothic architecture often serves as a backdrop for television and film productions. The Fordham Road Business Improvement District operates on the northern border of the neighborhood. This retail district is the longest in the Bronx. 2400 Grand Concourse 2400 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10458 | 14 SUBWAY MAP BUS MAP Subject Property Subject Property 2400 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10458 | 15 Zoning Overview ZONING OVERVIEW *C4 districts are mapped in regional commercial centers, such as Flushing in Queens and the Hub in the Bronx, that are located outside of the central business districts. In these areas, specialty and department stores, theaters and other commercial and office uses serve a larger region and generate more traffic than neighborhood shopping areas. Use Groups 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 12, which include most retail establishments, are permitted in C4 districts. Uses that would interrupt the desired continuous retail frontage, such as home maintenance and repair service stores listed in Use Group 7, are not allowed. C4 districts with an A, D or X suffix are contextual districts in which the commercial and residential bulk and density regulations can differ from corresponding non-contextual districts. Some districts have the same commercial and residential floor area ratios (FAR) as shown in the table, but may differ in parking requirements. Floor area may be increased with a public plaza or Inclusionary Housing Program bonus. C4-1 districts are mapped in outlying areas, such as the Staten Island Mall, that require large amounts of parking. C4-2 through C4-5 districts are mapped in more densely built areas, such as Steinway Street in Astoria (C4-2A), Fordham Road (C4-4), and parts of Jamaica (C4-5X). C4-6 and C4-7 districts are mapped in densely built areas in Manhattan, including most of Broadway on the Upper West Side (C4-6A) and portions of central Harlem (C4-7). *Note: Data taken from NYC Department of City Planning. 2400 Grand Concourse 2400 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10458 | 17 C4-4 2400 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10458 | 18 CONFIDENTIALITY & DISCLAIMER The information contained in this listing (“Listing”) is confidential, furnished solely for the purpose of review by a prospective purchaser of the following property: 2400 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10458 and is not to be used for any other purpose or made available to any other person without the express written consent of Besen & Associates, Inc. or Owner.

A River Runs Through It: Community Access to the Bronx River in Tremont and Hunts Point Matthew Bodnar May 2011 Rivers that run through urban areas are often neglected and forgotten. This is because the primary services that they provide for major cities are transportation and shipping. Many urban waterways have become polluted as a result and fail to reach much of their potential. New York City’s rivers and waterfronts are not typically a place where people seek recreation in the form of swimming or boating, except for a few places such as Coney Island, City Island, and Rockaway Beach. Other waterways that could be assets for their communities are also sometimes overlooked. After living in the Bronx for three years, the only knowledge that I had about the Bronx River was that it ran through the forest in the Botanical Gardens.

  • Three Rivers of Yonkers a Curriculum for 4Th and 5Th Grades
    Three Rivers of Yonkers A Curriculum for 4th and 5th Grades Lesson plans, resources and maps: An interdisciplinary approach to urban environmental education in the classroom focusing on the Hudson River, Bronx River, and Saw Mill River. © Produced by: Sarah Lawrence College Center for the Urban River at Beczak in partnership with Yonkers Public Schools (2015) Introduction The “Three Rivers” curriculum was designed and developed in partnership between the Yonkers Public Schools (www.yonkerspublicschools.org) and the Sarah Lawrence Center for the Urban River at Beczak (CURB) www.centerfortheurbanriver.org . The Three Rivers of Yonkers curriculum offers six interdisciplinary units of study that align with the New York State Common Core Learning Standards. This curriculum was created Tby a team of teachers from Yonkers Public Schools with support and guidance from the District’s administration, and staff from the former Beczak Environmental Education Center and the Sarah Lawrence College Center for the Urban River at Beczak. This new curriculum will help stimulate students’ interest in science at an early age and will encourage students to become stewards of the Hudson, Bronx, and Saw Mill Rivers. It is hoped that it will also motivate students to develop life-long habits of environmental citizenship. Of the six units, three are designed to be taught at the end of grade four and three at the beginning of grade five. Each unit is composed of four lessons connected to one another through an “essential question” that directs the themed investigation of the topic. Each lesson integrates English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies as well as the usage of technology and art.

Julie Kim and Oneka LaBennett Senior Thesis December 15, 2011 1 Abstract This paper will address the effect that the construction of the Cross-Bronx Expressway, in conjunction with specific government policies and practices, has had and continues to have on the inordinately high rates of pediatric asthma in the Bronx. Existing research on the subject tends to take a very segmented view. There has been much research done in the individual fields of the history of the Cross-Bronx Expressway and the Bronx’s subsequent demographic change; more recently, studies have taken note of the Bronx’s high asthma rates, the effect of various pollutants on children’s lung function, pollution rates in the Bronx, and the difference in asthma rates among different races/ethnicities.
