New banners installed by MPBID ahead of the holiday season | |
|
We are happy to inform the community that MPBID started installing new banners along Morris Park Avenue, for a renewed, polished look for the corridor ahead of the holiday season. Installation started on the west side of the MPBID district, and will continue on the east side over the next weeks. We hope that over the next couple of years, with the support of local elected representatives,
more of the outdated wooden poles especially on the east side of Morris Park Avenue, will be replaced with modern, metallic M-poles, in the historic style currently in place on the west side of the MPBID district.

Reminder - foliage may block rainwater catchment basins

Property owners: Please remember to clean up fallen leaves covering street catchment basins - to ensure proper and maximum water drainage capacity during rain events- thank you! Photo: 11/9/22, corner Radcliff Ave and Van Nest Ave, #MorrisPark | |

Beautification, clean-up and environmental work in Morris Park's green spaces: Morris Park Community Garden and Matthew Muliner Playground | |
MPBID and local volunteers had two great days of community service, cleaning up green spaces and planting daffodil bulbs. On October 23, 2022, we were at the Morris Park Community Garden, with 2 large bags of 800+ daffodil bulbs that were planted by MPBID and community volunteers. Thanks New Yorkers for Parks for the bulbs! The #daffodilproject is a city-wide initiative honoring each year the memory of 9/11. The following Saturday October 29, we were out again this time at Matthew Muliner Playground. It was a beautiful day with amazing volunteers in #MorrisPark at Matthew Muliner Playground - huge thanks to the Delancey Place Nature Trail, students, Partnerships for Parks, and NYC Parks #daffodilproject - making the #Bronx cleaner and greener together! Over 1000 daffodil bulbs , 17 bags of leaves , 6 bags of trash (and 3 pizzas! - we THANK EVERYONE so much for your positive energy and hard work! | |
