The Sheridan Expressway-Hunts Point Land Use and Transportation Study (SEHP) is an study being conducted by New York City of the Sheridan Expressway and surrounding highway network. The Southern Bronx River Watershed Alliance will be working closely with the city in the Community Working Group to ensure that the Community Plan to redevelop the Sheridan Expressway and improve access to Hunts Point is prioritized.
Since 2001, the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has been studying the Sheridan Expressway and its inefficient interchanges. Because of the hard work of community residents and the Southern Bronx River Watershed Alliance, NYSDOT has considered removing the Sheridan. NYSDOT did not include our plan to replace the Sheridan with housing, parks, and commercial space, but New York City’s SEHP will address these aspects our the Community Plan.
Through the SEHP study, the City will engage community stakeholders in a visioning process to plan for the area’s future. The study will allow the City to collect additional information about transportation, specifically truck access to the Hunts Point peninsula, and expand transportation analysis to include the broader highway network in the South Bronx.
