Now in its 16th successful year, this innovative event is an example of a sustained partnership between Time’s Up! and Friends of Brook Park of the South Bronx.

When:
April 14th,2012 11:00 am,

Where:
MEET E. 141st St & Brook Ave, South Bronx.
-Approximately two hours more or less.-

This is really a trip on the wild side for a unique view of what is world-renowned as the “South Bronx.” A leisurely tour that includes beautiful natural wonders of the waterfront, community gardens and art, and historic places. We will visit the proposed NYSDOT public land site that Fresh Direct is trying to take $130 million of our public money to occupy on this tour. The tour also includes a part of Randall’s Island.

A limited number of bikes may be available. Otherwise ride on your own bicycle!

On this trip participants of all ages are made aware through actual site visits of polluting fossil fuel power plants and gargantuan waste transfer facilities that litter our  shores. Alternatives to the existing government policies are brought to everyone’s attention, with post-ride action steps including promoting demonstrations, letter writing, and email campaigns.

Time’s Up! provides critical outreach and promotion for this ride and early support has led to significant growth in attendance as well as continued support and involvement with the important efforts of Friends of Brook Park by ride participants. FoBP offers a video for further information about local organizing campaigns against pollution and unjust land-use siting issues.
