Changes Coming To 10th Avenue: Other Inwood Transportation News

INWOOD, NY — Improvements to 10th Avenue, reconstruction of intersections on Dyckman Street, enhancing Upper Manhattan bus service, and rehabbing the Broadway Bridge were all part of a recent update given to Community Board 12 on transportation projects going on in the neighborhood.

Earlier in October, Community Board 12's Land Use Committee received an update from various city agencies on the Inwood NYC Points of Agreement.

The Agreement is made up of a number of commitments from the city to the neighborhood as part of the Inwood rezoning plan. There is more than $200 million in funding for the various neighborhood projects involved.

Patch recently took a look at those projects, but this article will focus on ongoing transportation-related initiatives within the Points of Agreement.
