Because of government leaders and the infrastructure work of Robert Moses, The Bronx has for decades been dealt an unfair hand. The South Bronx particularly became home to highways like the Sheridan Expressway, blocking residents from access to parks and the Bronx River waterfront.
The Bronx was not only robbed of its natural amenities but, residents were also exposed to gas emissions from trucks traveling through local streets, which in turn increased asthma rates among other health issues.
