This should tell almost the whole story when word got out that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was behind a clean up of a part of East Tremont Avenue in her district. Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez is standing to the left of the street pole behind all the bags of trash and garbage that were picked up. The area of East Tremont Avenue between Unionport and Castle Hill Avenues is also where the new Parkchester Metro North station is planned to go. Over forty volunteers were given trash grabbers and gloves and really cleaned up.
