East Fordham Road
The Department of City Planning (DCP) proposes to rezone portions of approximately 12 blocks along East Fordham Road in the Belmont neighborhood of the Bronx, Community District 6. The rezoning was undertaken in response to concerns raised by Community Board 6, local institutions, local elected officials, residents and property owners that the existing zoning does not reflect or support prevailing land use trends in the area. The proposal is intended to facilitate new opportunities for growth and development while reinforcing the established commercial character and preserving the existing neighborhood character.

Sheridan Expressway-Hunts Point Land Use and Transportation Study (SEHP)
The Department of City Planning is leading a community visioning process as part of an interdisciplinary study of the Sheridan Expressway and surrounding area, with special attention paid to Hunts Point access. The planning work was awarded a $1.5 million TIGER II grant from the US Department of Transportation in 2010. The planning work will help the city and state identify the best possible set of investments and improvements to the Bronx highway system and the complementary economic, zoning and housing plans for the surrounding communities.

Sustainable Communities
The Department of City Planning is participating in an unprecedented, bi-state collaboration of cities, counties and regional planning organzations who have united to form the New York-Connecticut Sustainable Communities Consortium. The Consortium was awarded $3.5 million in funding in the inaugural year of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program. The consortium will undertake a combination of regionally and locally oriented initiatives to promote sustainable, transit-oriented development throughout the region. Initiatives DCP leads under the Sustainable Communities program include three studies: a coordinated neighborhood planning study in East New York, Brooklyn; an evaluation of land use and transportation opportunities near Metro-North Stations in the Bronx; and several activities to advance citywide strategic planning efforts for building climate resilience.
