IN THE ZONE: A rezoning proposal for Webster Avenue calls for construction of new apartment buildings, stores and businesses on the strip between Fordham Road and Gun Hill Road.
Ozzie Brown looks at the oil-drenched industrial stretch of Webster Avenue and sees a completely different future for this wide corridor that runs parallel to the Bronx River.
“We want to see bookstores, museums and cafés, so that it has a village feel,” said Brown, the chair of Community Board 7’s Land Use Committee. “We want to see nightlife, cuisine and culture.”
