The eastern portion of Fordham Road received a boost of cleanliness this fall.

In plans unveiled at a press conference in September, the Fordham Road Business Improvement District (BID) announced plans to expand its sanitation services east on Fordham Road to Washington Avenue to include One Fordham Plaza (the property) as well as the outdoor vendors’ market. The services are also being offered north on Webster Avenue to include Cookies Department Store.

The BID’s sanitation services are offered through its A Taste of the BID program and are supported by Fordham University.
The boundaries of the BID, which now includes approximately 80 buildings and almost 300 businesses, extend west to Jerome Avenue.
