The community is asking the de Blasio adminisration to drop its opposition the environmental lawsuit.The public has long been denied acess to the waterfront in the South Bronx. Cut off by industry and pollution causing businesses. For years this community has organized to prevent what they feel is yet another inappropriate use of public land and tax dollars. The familiar BOYCOTT fresh Direct stickers can be found in many neighborhoods.
On Saturday more than 100 people marched to the Harlem River Rail yards in the South Bronx to protest the Bloomberg-era city and state subsidies being offered to relocate FreshDirect and lack of waterfront access.
