On the heels of the Borough President’s State of the Borough address, we asked readers what are some of the things the Bronx needs most.

We don’t have very many Wendy’s restaurants or even many supermarkets. I think we also need more daycare centers for kids and more parks for everyone.
–Roxana White, Bedford Park

 

 

 

I think we need a boat in the Hudson River to ferry people from the Bronx to Manhattan; we don’t have that. I also think we need an express bus from the Bronx to Queens, I don’t think they have that. I also think we need more movie theaters, a dine-in movie theater where you can eat and watch a movie. They have a lot of them in New Jersey and upstate New York. I have to travel far away because I can’t do that here in the Bronx, they don’t have it.
–Joy Pleasant, University Heights

 

 

I know the Bronx is underserved in everything. We don’t have schools or arcades for children. The children don’t even go to school in a regular building, they built a small building in the schoolyard… and it’s not safe for children. There are a lot of things that aren’t very nice. We also need a movie theater to entertain ourselves.
–Freweni Araia, Parkchester

 

 

The Bronx needs to work on education and needs more schools and after school programs and stuff like that. This school, P.S. 83, doesn’t have anything. They used to have an after school program that I went to as a kid and it was free, but now it’s very limited.

I think we need some movie theaters in the Bronx. We can watch at home but we need to go out and have more places to go, instead of always going downtown.
