A long-promised pedestrian bridge over the Major Deegan Expressway to connect the two sides of Van Cortlandt Park has been quietly canceled.
“The effects of the pandemic on construction projects cannot be understated,” said Dan Kastanis, a spokesperson for the parks department. “They have been felt across the board in every sector, and severely impacted the prior pedestrian bridge project.”
“How do you propose a person, a family with children, or someone who's up in age to be able to maneuver this?” said local resident Geraldine McCleave. “It is less expensive. It is less damaging to the trees in the forest. And so we are trying to balance out what is the best way forward here,” she added.
