Con Edison will be installing a high pressure gas main from Bainbridge Avenue and East Gun Hill Road to the Croton Water Filtration Plant site along Jerome Avenue. Excavation and installation at the intersection of Bainbridge and Gun Hill will take place for approximately two weeks beginning on May 5. The construction schedule will be Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. For questions and concerns, call the Con Edison public affairs office at (914) 925-6315 or (914) 925-6368.

Several thousand people, including a hefty contingent of Bronx activists, descended on Wall Street last week to denounce the nation’s leading banks, which they believe played a leading role in the nation’s recent economic crisis, and demand financial reform.

On the heels of Gun Hill Road being named the Bronx’s most dangerous thoroughfare, the Department of Transportation is attempting to identify and address some of the issues facing the road through a new federally funded congestion mitigation program.

On the stormy morning of May 3, the weather fit the mood of those attending Mass at St. Ann’s Church on Bainbridge Avenue in Norwood. Rev. Misael Sarita Bacleon, also known as Father Mike, had died on April 28. He was 61.

Carlos Laboy thought he was taking on a tough challenge when trying to raise funds this winter for his local youth theater program’s upcoming production of "Guys and Dolls." But that fight now pales in comparison to the battle he now faces against a deadly disease.

The only gateway to success is education. Go to school. Learn. Be somebody. How can the youth of New York City become successful when their only ride to education has been taken away? As a student, I am enraged by the proposal to cut student MetroCards.

I have seen how this issue affects all students, many who cannot afford the daily transportation costs, students who have to travel from borough to borough just to get to school, and students just like me that have to work extra hard because of living conditions.

Like many students, I live in a single parent household with multiple siblings. My mother has to work hard just to send us to school. Sometimes she has to choose whether to pay our tuition or pay one of the bills. It’s not fair that now she has to worry about paying our bus fares to get to school. What happens when I can no longer go to school?

What happens to all the students that have to move from their current schools to zoned schools which are already overcrowded?
