The feedback will be used in connection with a recent study of the area, assessing the negative impact the roadway has had on nearby neighborhoods for decades.

The idea, stemming from the Adam's Administration, hopes that the study will develop a community vision to minimize the harm the Cross Bronx has caused to families and communities along the expressway.
"Together with Bronx communities, Mayor Adams, and partners throughout government, we are crafting a holistic vision for the Cross Bronx Expressway corridor to envision a cleaner, healthier borough and remedy mistakes of the past," said Edith Hsu-Chen, Executive Director of the Department of City Planning. "Stakeholders from across the borough and city have an opportunity to share how they've been affected by the Cross Bronx and what they would like to see built in the years to come."
The meetings will be held both in person and virtually through April 10.
Below is a list of the meeting locations:
