CITY COLLEGE — Wooden planks sit under the ramps of the Bruckner Expressway in the Bronx, and construction equipment remains on the site even though the New York State Department of Transportation said it is finished with reconstruction. Traffic is chaotic and locals worry about safety.
Carolyn Franco walks through the Bruckner Expressway in Hunts Point frequently to make her way to the local Food Stamps Center. “Walking by there is so anxiety-inducing and scary. I speed walk or do a little run,” Franco said. “Even though there’s crosswalks you have to be on high alert that a car won’t hit you or someone is not going to run up on you.”
