Gjonaj cleans up vacant MTA lot in
Pelham Gardens following complaints
BY JASON COHEN
Situated between Balk and
Allerton Avenues in Pelham
Gardens is a vacant MTA lot,
once fi lled with trash, overgrown
weeds and beer bottles.
Bobbie Brooks, who lives
nearby, told the Bronx Times
that this particular patch of
land had looked disgusting for
years. She recently reached
out to Councilman Mark
Gjonaj for a solution and the
lawmaker sprang to action.
On Nov. 9, Gjonaj and
his staff rolled up their
sleeves and cleaned out the
abandoned lot.
Brooks recalled how the
grass was the “size of a basketball
player” and there were
condoms and drug paraphernalia
everywhere. Following
the cleanup, she expressed excitement
and praised the councilman
for his efforts.
“We couldn’t be happier
with him,” Brooks said. “I’m
grateful for Mark Gjonaj.”
