The monthly Croton Facilities Monitoring Committee will be held tonight, Wednesday, Oct. 19, at the DEP outreach office, 3660 Jerome Ave. at 7 p.m. Usually, the committee meets on the third Thursday of every month, but this month, due to some scheduling difficulties, it’s happening tonight.
A couple of interesting items on the agenda tonight.
The Department of Environmental Protection will provide a status update on their consideration of A) the feasibility of building a pedestrian bridge over the Major Deegan Expressway. The DEP promised it would do this study in exchange for using public parkland to build the filtration plant in Van Cortlandt Park. B) Removing trees around the Jerome Park Reservoir.
They will also discuss Bronx jobs at the construction site and the project’s enormous cost overruns.
Good times.

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.
