In the late 1990s Majora Carter took a bold step into the world of urban planning. She simultaneously re-routing a Giuliani-era plan for additional waste handling in the South Bronx, and converting policy towards positive green development in environmental justice neighborhoods. One $1.25M Federal Transportation planning grant later, designs and plans for the South Bronx Greenway – an 11 mile network of bike and pedestrian paths meant to connect neighborhoods to the river front and each other with cost-effective, low impact storm water management capacity, local entrepreneurship opportunities, and active living features to improve public health and reduce traffic congestion.
