Describe the challenge you want to address:
Sidewalks and train stations in the North Bronx are frequently obstructed by vendors, taxi drivers, and large crowds. This creates safety issues and accessibility issues, particularly for disabled individuals and others who need clear pathways. These obstructions diminish the functionality and appeal of these newly approved stations.
What is the solution to the challenge?
Launch an advocacy campaign to raise awareness about the importance of clear public spaces. Pair this with an entrepreneurial training program to provide vendors with an alternative opportunity. Balancing community needs with sustainable economic growth.
