What do you want to see happen along the largely under-utilized Bronx side of the Harlem River?
Here’s your chance to voice your opinion.
Last week, the Harlem River Working Group and Bronx Council for Environmental Quality kicked off a series of three “community visioning meetings” at Hostos Community College, with two more coming up, starting tonight. The idea is to brainstorm new ideas and re-affirm old ideas for usage of the borough’s west coast and come up with a visioning document that will help shape future development. Anyone interested is invited to attend.
The next visioning meeting are: tonight, March 29, at 6p.m. at the Bronx Community College faculty lounge, located at 2155 University Avenue and next Thursday, April 5, at 6 p.m. at the Lehman College Music Building faculty lounge, located at 250 Bedford Park Boulevard West. Free food, translation and activities for children will be provided. To RSVP or for more information, call Chauncy at (646) 719-0034 or email harlemriver@bceq.org.

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. As you navigate this website, please let us know if you discover any glitches or if you have any suggestions. We’d love to hear from you.

I AM NOW A SENIOR CITIZEN,U.S.KOREAN VETERAN,AND RETIRED CIVIL SERVANT. I AM A ”BRONXITE” WHO RESIDE A BLOCK FROM CLEMENTE STATE PARK AND THE CHARMING HARLEM RIVER. FOR YEARS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT IF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS WOULD CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE IDEA OF USING A PORTION OF THE RIVER FRONT FOR THE VERY POPULAR SPORT OF FISHING. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT A PIER COULD BE DEVELOPED AT OR NEAR THE PARK UNDER THE CONTINUED, WATCHFUL EYES OF OUR STATE POLICE. IT SEEMS FROM REPORTS THAT THE RIVER IS CLEANER AND GOOD FISH IS STEADILY COMING UPSTREAM AGAIN FROM THE OCEAN. OUR NEIGHBORHOOD CHILDREN AND OTHERS SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE VITAL NEED TO RESPECT THE RIVERS AND THE MANY TYPES OF FISH THAT LIVE WITHIN. A POSITIVE RESPONSE TO THIS IDEA WOULD BE EXTREMELY MEANINGFUL TO OUR WEST BRONX COMMUNITY.
