Bainbridge Avenue & E. 204th Street Merchants Present Summer Streets Weekend Walks 2011

Instead of taxpayer subsidized malls that compete against Bronx small businesses, as proposed at the Kingsbridge Armory, here is an initiative that if done right can breath new life into one our business districts in the Bronx. NYC and the Bronx are and should always be about neighborhoods and small business.

Please see more related to the pedestrian streets plan to promote foot traffic and commerce along the Bainbridge Avenue / E. 204th Street commercial district.
