Dear Neighbor,


I am writing to you as a reminder of updates to the Parkchester train station escalator and upcoming events.


Please be advised that as part of the ADA work at the Parkchester 6 station, the escalator located at the Westchester Avenue entrance to the Manhattan-bound platform will be taken out of service TOMORROW on January 5, 2024 for full replacement. The escalator will not be available for costumer use through February 2025.


I have four important community events coming up. They include a Three Kings Day celebration at Mechler Hall this Saturday, a community input meeting for Harding Park on 1/10, a community input meeting for the Bronx Metro North on 1/10, and a pet adoption event in February!


Additionally, January 12th is the last day to submit your ideas for this year's cycle of Participatory Budgeting! This is an annual opportunity to advocate for the projects you want to see on your block. Including but not limited to, street upgrades, park upgrades, school construction upgrades, and more. Click here to submit your ideas today.
