Dear Neighbor,
Thank you for joining us for another week in review.
We would like to wish a warm welcome back to school to all of our students, teachers and parents who started school last week. We hope this school year is a memorable one filled with growth and learning for everyone. Thanks to our partners at Essen Health Care and Montefiore Einstein we were able to provide nearly 1,000 backpacks and school kits to our students in time for the first day of school!
We are gearing up for our annual Tour de Bronx event! Tour De Bronx is an annual free cycling event that offers riders a 25-mile course through historic districts, waterfronts, and lush greenways. The annual event attracts both skilled and beginner cyclists and encourages alternative modes of transportation. This year, we are introducing a new 10-mile route and reintroducing our legendary 40-mile route! We can't wait to see you all there. Registration is now open!
Lastly, do you live, work, or spend time near the Cross Bronx Expressway? New York needs your ideas about how to improve the area and reconnect communities. This month, join public events including guided walking tours of the Cross Bronx area and share your experiences and opportunities you see.
The NYC Department of City Planning, NYC Department of Transportation, NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and State Department of Transportation are hosting the tours. We think this is a critical opportunity for our community to have a voice in the future of the Cross Bronx Expressway and we encourage you to participate! You can get the tour schedule and sign up now at nyc.gov/crossbronx.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 718-590-3500 or email us at webmail@bronxbp.nyc.gov.
In partnership,
Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson

IN THE COMMUNITY
I was proud to join with Department of Transportation, Department of Design and Construction, Department of Environmental Protection and my colleagues in government to celebrate the reconstruction of the Grand Concourse in the Bronx from E. 175th Street to Fordham Road. This was the fourth phase to rebuild the boulevard with safety features, wider medians and enhanced lighting.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to enhancing this historic corridor.
It was an honor to join with Mayor Eric Adams, Chancellor David Banks, UFT President Michael Mulgrew and my colleagues in government to welcome our students back to school!
We are so excited for our students, teachers and parents to embark on another academic year. We hope this year is filled with a lot of growth and learning for everyone.
