Statement on City Planning Commission’s Approval of Bartow Avenue Animal Shelter Site
“The City’s ULURP process requires approval from a number of parties, including the City Planning Commission, the Borough President, the local community board and the City Council. We have seen the Borough President speak on this matter and now the Commission has approved the Bartow Avenue Animal Shelter. A Community Board hearing on this matter saw a united voice from Co-op City residents against the particular project and location proposed, while we recognize many Bronxites are excited about the prospect of building this facility as soon as possible. The Council will hold a hearing in a land use subcommittee on October 9th and I will have the opportunity to publicly question the Administration on concerns surrounding this project. I have stated time and again that I will follow the wishes of the neighborhood and the surrounding community on this project and all projects that impact our residential communities. While we look to comply with law of building a animal shelter in our borough of the Bronx we can not and I will not forget the position of our local residents."
