Fordham Plaza
Located at the Heart of the Bronx, Fordham Plaza has enormous potential to become a thriving and vital center for the community.
Historically, the Fordham Plaza area has been a crossroads and as such, a center for community and trade. With the tracks of the former New York Central Railroad below, the Village of Fordham grew around the train station, attracting merchants, artists and educators. This role continues to the present day, and the statistics bear this out—Fordham Station is the fourth busiest in the Metro-North system and Fordham Road has one of the highest pedestrian volumes in the entire city. This plan seeks to capitalize on this activity to create a vibrant and active public space—a new "Heart of the Bronx."
Due to existing operational and environmental challenges, the current Plaza design does not live up to its full potential. Numerous interviews, stakeholder meetings, public charrettes and survey research confirmed these challenges while simultaneously supporting the general consensus on the opportunity to make Fordham Plaza into an iconic destination.
The conceptual plan offers benefits in terms of placemaking and neighborhood identity; improved traffic, transit and operational efficiencies; and increased opportunities for events and concessions on the Plaza that complement and financially support programming and maintenance at Fordham Plaza.
The conceptual design is aligned with many of the goals and initiatives of PlaNYC 2030, particularly as it relates to land use, public space, and improvements to transit service and traffic flow. The time is ripe for the Bronx to open its Heart, and for Fordham Plaza to become the destination it deserves to be.
