The PUMP
For much of its length, the 8.5-mile Major Deegan Expressway, located in the Bronx (and named for architect William F. Deegan), obstructs the Harlem River waterfront, an uninviting jumble of light industry and truck parking.
The City of New York is working to encourage housing and recreational uses along the Harlem River and, as Carol Samol of the Department of City Planning puts it, to “make the best of the waterfront, despite the Deegan.” The strategies she has in mind are modest, involving, for instance, lighting the underside of the highway to invite area residents to walk beneath an elevated section en route to a planned riverside park.
