This Saturday, July 16, 2016, from 11-4 pm, hundreds of South Bronx residents will join a waterfront celebration (with an international musical line up, along with local musicians, artists and vendors as well as water activities including canoeing, water testing and a fishing contest) to reclaim the Mott Haven-Port Morris waterfront for public access/use. This special waterfront event - part of the city-wide -Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance's City of Water Day - celebrates the efforts of the community to build bridges to the inaccessible shoreline where, despite nine miles of state-owned land along the peninsula, community members currently do not have a single public access point. |
