For the first time in 10 years, holiday lights can be seen running along Kingsbridge Road. With help from Senator Pedro Espada, support from local merchants, and backing from the Montefiore Medical Center (and its affiliate, the Mosholu Preservation Corporation, the publisher of the Norwood News), both Kingsbridge Road and Gun Hill Road-Jerome Avenue business districts will be receiving more resources this holiday season.
Based on the success of the city’s Clean Streets pilot program, shepherded by the Mosholu Preservation Corporation, MPC has been given an Avenue NYC contract for 2010. This will provide extra economic development funding and new services for the Kingsbridge Road and Gun Hill Road-Jerome Avenue business corridors.
In addition, Espada will provide funding for improved security cameras in the Jerome-Gun Hill Business Improvement District, holiday lights for 204th Street and Bainbridge Avenue, and street cleaning for Bedford Park Boulevard.
