Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. joins New York City Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza on a tour of P.S. 359, the Concourse Village Elementary School, on Monday, April 9, 2018.
Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. speaks at an event to announce the progress in constructing a NYC Ferry landing in Soundview for a new route launching this summer on Monday, April 9, 2018.
“A thriving city requires us to consider new, alternative modes of transportation. Soundview is the perfect community to host new ferry service, and it is my hope that this new transit option will not only ease commutes for Bronx residents, but will provide travelers with a new way to visit and explore The Bronx. I thank NYCEDC and the administration for their work to expand ferry service to Soundview, and I look forward to bringing this service to other Bronx communities in the future,” said Borough President Diaz.
On Tuesday, April 4, 2018, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. attended the 102nd birthday of Sarah Turner at the R.A.I.N. Eastchester Neighborhood Senior Center.
Born in 1916 in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Mother” Turner as she is known throughout the community, has been a member of Burke Avenue Baptist Church for more than 50 years.
“Sarah Turner is a prime example that age is a state of mind,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. “It was an honor joining ’Mother’ Turner, her friends and family to celebrate life and I look forward to celebrating her 103rd birthday next year.”
