Dec 3 - Rep. Ritchie Torres and advocates demand more time to review a 6,000‑page Cross Bronx draft environmental assessment. A 53‑day, holiday‑filled window shrinks community input and risks car‑centric outcomes that harm pedestrians, cyclists, and equity communities.

""We need time, and we're not going to have it,"" -- Gustavo Rivera

This is not a council bill. It is a request to extend the public comment period on the Cross Bronx draft environmental assessment (no bill number). The draft EA was released after hours on Nov. 18; the public was given until Jan. 9 — a 53‑day window. "The public was given until just Jan. 9 to weigh in on the 6,000‑page document — a 53‑day period that includes multiple holidays." Rep. Ritchie Torres wrote to Gov. Hochul and NYSDOT Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez asking for more time. State Sen. Gustavo Rivera and local advocates pressed the same plea. A 53‑day, holiday‑laden comment window limits meaningful input from pedestrians, cyclists, and equity‑seeking communities and raises the risk that car‑centric, unsafe designs will advance.
