Living on Mosholu Parkway in the Bronx means navigating through a street that has seen better days, with the city's grading system reflecting the community's challenges. The street, lined with mostly residential buildings, is cloaked in an eerie darkness due to the high number of street light issues. Residents here have reported over a dozen incidents, ranging from individual street lights being out to entire sections going dark, making evening walks or late-night returns home treacherous. The lampposts, once a beacon of safety, have been knocked down, further exacerbating the situation. The few working lights often have their fixtures or doors open, allowing rain and snow to accumulate, potentially causing further damage. The consistent lack of proper lighting has likely contributed to the high crime rate in the area, with sex crimes and rapes among the most frequently committed offenses.
Parking on Mosholu Parkway is another significant challenge. Despite the street being wide enough for two-way traffic, the narrow sidewalk and the lack of designated parking spots often lead to vehicles being parked haphazardly, blocking fire hydrants and crosswalks. Residents and visitors alike have to navigate these obstacles, which not only cause inconvenience but also pose safety risks. The limited street cleaning and parking enforcement in the area have done little to alleviate this issue. Moreover, the lack of maintenance has resulted in potholes and cracked pavement, causing vehicle damage and making it difficult for pedestrians to walk safely, especially those with mobility issues. The nearby streets share a similar fate, with only East 210 Street boasting a better grade, indicating that the problems are not isolated to Mosholu Parkway but plague the surrounding blocks as well.
