This way, residents going to Morrisania and Longwood won't have to pass the congested Hunts Point Av and Southern Boulevard intersection. This would allow these neighborhoods quicker access to the Bruckner Expressway. As for the Sheridan, I agree with tearing the expressway down. The only concern is Concrete Plant Park south of Westchester Avenue. I think that may suffer low usage due to the presence of the (6) elevated subway line and the Amtrack ROW beneath it as well as adjacent car shops on Whitlock Avenue. This can turn parents off into using the park for their children. I think it would be better off that the Bruckner build the exit at 156th St and Garrison Avenue.
