where you should be! The board’s transportation committee will hold its regular meeting at the board offices at 229 E 204th St. at 6:30p.m. Thursday, Jan. 9, focusing on the new Boro Taxis.
The lime green cabs debuted in August as part of the city’s plan to legalize street hails in the outer-boroughs, which is a continuing practice given the over saturation of livery cabs throughout the Bronx.
CB7’s Transportation Committee, tasked to review policies enacted by city and state agencies concerning matters involving roadways, infrastructure and public transportation, has been housing the Taxi and Limousine Commission to make a presentation on this new service. To learn more, stop by at the meeting!

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
