Capping the Cross Bronx Expressway: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

The Green New Deal is a framework for imagining a better world, and Loving the Bronx in partnership with local activists in the South Bronx have been imagining solutions for their community through an initiative to cap the Cross-Bronx Expressway.
With the support of Alexandria and other local elected officials and funding from the federal infrastructure bill, organizers are collaborating on a multi-agency effort to reconnect communities, bring new green space and reverse the effects of environmental racism in the borough.
