Port Morris Rally Calls Attention to Need for Public Access to Waterfront

Wooden benches and lounge chairs now line a section of the Harlem River, along with bistro tables and chairs, greenery and an accessible walking path. All of it is open to the public.
This promenade, just off Bruckner Boulevard and Third Avenue, is at the waterfront between the Third and Lincoln at Bankside apartment buildings. It offers a respite to read a book, walk a dog, talk with a friend or go for a run.
The Mott Haven-based grassroots group South Bronx Unite led nearly 50 people on a march to the area on Oct. 22 to introduce people to the spaces and emphasize that they are public, not private.
