You’re invited to the next HNBA community meeting on Tuesday (April 9th) at the MTA’s Community Information Center - 69 East 125th Street (between Madison and Park Avenues), at 7:00 PM.

We’ll have a presentation from Michael Fox of Eloise Capital, the company that is developing the residential building at the corner of 126th and Madison Avenue.

We’ll also hear from our location hosts (the MTA) on the Park Avenue Viaduct project and how this essential capital replacement of the tracks between 115th Street and 1222nd Street is progressing.

Lastly, we’ll hear from the office of the Manhattan District Attorney (represented by ADA Reginald Green) on crime trends in Manhattan and in our community in particular. Here is your chance to speak to the Manhattan DA’s office about your experience with crime and public safety while hearing more about the data that underlies our day-to-day experience.

Looking forward to seeing you on April 9th.

Homicides and Shootings in East Harlem

In March, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg presented the latest data on shootings in East Harlem over the last two years. And, while his visualization did not show how the data compared to other boroughs, the city as a whole, or the United States, the decrease is incredibly compelling and hopefully speaks to a trend that will continue.
