BRONX · 15 addresses · 3 precincts
Living on the Cross Bronx Expressway, a bustling thoroughfare in the Bronx, is an experience marked by the constant hum of traffic and the occasional blare of a car horn. The street's C grade, with a score of 76.0, indicates that while it's not the worst in the city, there are noticeable issues that residents have to contend with. The most prominent issue is the street lighting, with a staggering 70 complaints, ranging from individual bulbs being out to entire luminaires being damaged or knocked down. This means that nighttime visibility can be poor, making it less safe for both pedestrians and drivers. Residents might have to navigate dimly lit sidewalks or drive with their headlights on even during the early evening.
Parking, although not the top complaint, is also a challenge. With only 15 addresses on this stretch of the expressway, the high volume of traffic and lack of designated parking spaces can lead to vehicles being parked illegally or double-parked, blocking fire hydrants or impeding traffic flow. This not only poses a safety hazard but also can lead to tension among residents and commuters. Despite these challenges, the crime rate is relatively low, with only one misdemeanor reported, indicating that the neighborhood is generally safe, even with the high traffic volume. However, the poor lighting conditions could potentially deter residents from walking or cycling at night, affecting their quality of life.
