NEW YORK — A grand plan to revitalize Fordham Plaza in the Bronx has fallen far short of the community’s expectations, with vacant kiosks and retail space now creating a barren landscape instead of the promised vibrant gathering space.
The community wants to know why.
“We just want to know what’s going to happen, and we’re demanding for DOT [New York City Department of Transportation] to make the effort to tell us what is the situation,” Lisa Sanchez, a resident and community board member, said. “They didn’t keep their end of the bargain, promising the community to enhance the area.”
