We accomplished so much this year– both here in our own neighborhood and in Albany. And next year is a leap year, so we have an extra day to do even more good things! We need to fight on many fronts for our community. It seems we are constantly facing battles, new and old, sometimes by government and sometimes by private interests such as developers. For example, the MTA plans to make huge cuts to express bus service in our district. Unacceptable! The NYC Department of Environmental Protection plans to permanently keep empty the northern basin of the historic Jerome Park Reservoir. Disgusting! And it appears that a previously defeated development proposed for Riverdale Avenue may be rearing its ugly head again. Outrageous! COMMUNITY SUPPORTING EACH OTHER: Each year, my office organizes a holiday These are just three examples of why it is so important canned food drive to support two local food pantries that serve our community in the 81st Assembly District: for local residents to be involved, active, and vocal Kingsbridge Heights Community Center and St.

In addition, the tax “reform” proposals of the President and Congressional leaders would cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 20% (approximately 42% less than they were paying), eliminate the estate tax (which was only paid by the super-rich), increase taxes on the middle class, raise taxes on states like New York and California and Assemblyman Dinowitz attended the annual Kingsbridge Riverdale Van Cortlandt Development dinner.

Fort Independence Cultural Resource Survey
Fort Independence Cultural Resource Survey Report prepared for the Fort Independence Park Neighborhood Association Kingsbridge Bronx, New York Report Prepared by Anthony W. Robins Thompson & Columbus, Inc. December 2011 FORT INDEPENDENCE CULTURAL RESOURCE SURVEY Report Prepared by Anthony W. Robins Thompson & Columbus, Inc. Fort Independence Park Neighborhood Association Kingsbridge Bronx, New York This project is funded in part by the Elizabeth and Robert Jeffe Preservation Fund for New York City, a grant program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. 2 2011 SURVEY STUDY AREA 3 INTRODUCTION In October of 2011, the Fort Independence Park Neighborhood Association (FIPNA) received a Jeffe Preservation Fund grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation to undertake a survey of the Fort Independence area in Kingsbridge, the Bronx. The survey area covered eight blocks in the Fort Independence neighborhood (also known as Van Cortlandt Village) of the northwest Bronx, beginning two blocks south of Van Cortlandt Park and continuing three blocks further south, and starting at the western edge of the Jerome Park Reservoir along Sedgwick Avenue and extending two blocks west to Fort Independence Street. Streets in the survey area included Orloff Avenue, Van Cortlandt Avenue West, Cannon Place Sedgwick Avenue, Stevenson Place, West 238th Street, and Giles Place. The area is almost entirely residential, including large apartment complexes surrounded by two- and three-story brick and frame one- and two-family houses. While one large housing complex within the district – the Sholem Aleichem houses – has been found individually eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, the remaining portion of the area has been under growing pressure, as single- family houses have given way to large new apartment blocks, as along Orloff Avenue and Fort Independence Street.

Platform Development Opportunities in the Bronx
Platform Development Opportunities in The Bronx The Office of Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. February 2016 In his 2015 “State of the Borough” address, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. announced that his office would conduct a preliminary study of the feasibility of building decks over three railyards operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)—149th Street in Mott Haven, the Concourse Yard adjacent to Lehman College, and the 1 train yards connecting Riverdale and Kingsbridge. “But to truly bring transformative housing development to The Bronx, we have to examine not just available space, but space that does not even technically exist, “said Borough President Diaz of his proposal in his speech. “We will examine possible costs and potential density, and will take the first step towards creating new space as a key component of our city's housing and economic development future.” As each of those yards was examined for future development, one location outshone the rest, for a variety of reasons. 1 149th STREET The MTA yard at East 149th Street and the Grand Concourse has long been seen as offering tremendous opportunity for potential development. The site is located at one of the busiest transportation hubs in the city, and features neighboring attractions such as the Hostos Community College, Lincoln Hospital, the future Bronx GPO project and Cardinal Hayes High School. A little further away to the north sits the borough’s Civic Center district as well as Yankee Stadium. In 1955, then-Bronx Borough President James J. Lyons called for the site to be decked over and developed as part of a 78-acre development plan in the South Bronx.
