Based on public feedback from the local community, NYSDOT has officially dismissed Design Options 1C and 1D from further consideration for a project to replace or rehabilitate five bridges along the Cross Bronx Expressway. NYSDOT will now move forward with reviewing the last remaining build option, and will continue to work with the community to progress this important project that needs to be done to fix these critical bridges while enhancing safety and improving connectivity along this vital transportation corridor.

Proud to share the opening of the Philadelphia Schuylkill River Trail extension— from Christian Street to Grays Ferry Crescent — enhancing nonmotorized transportation mobility and connectivity across the city. AECOM was awarded the design contract in 2016 and has been involved in the project from the initial feasibility study through to final design and construction.  The $48M project is a huge milestone for Philadelphia’s pedestrian and cycling infrastructure and will help to reduce vehicle emissions and traffic congestion while increasing public safety and revenue for local businesses.  We are proud to continually build resilient, sustainable infrastructure that will serve as an indispensable community asset for generations!

The Cross Bronx Bridges Project seeks to upgrade and replace bridges between Boston Road and Rosedale Avenue. While we understand the NYS Department of Transportation's responsibility in maintaining a state of good repair, RPA cannot support any of the current options as presented — they will impact decades of investment and advocacy in protecting the Bronx River and will lessen the quality of life for local residents.

As the City of New York’s primary capital construction project manager, the Department of Design and Construction prides itself in fostering an equitable procurement environment. To promote project opportunities for the city’s breadth of qualified contractors and ensure that its business partners reflect the diversity of the city, DDC maintains an active Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) Program.   Janelle Husain-Singh, a Senior Program Coordinator in DDC’s Office of Diversity and Industry Relations, has played a key role on the team that administers the agency’s M/WBE Program.    After immigrating to the United States from Guyana as a child with her family, Janelle explored a range of roles prior to joining DDC, including serving as a consultant for the School Construction Authority. She now connects the diverse community that makes up New York City to opportunities to improve the city’s built environment.   In her role at DDC, Janelle cultivates and maintains relationships with M/WBE community members, focusing on increasing their participation in the agency’s public building and infrastructure projects. She also manages a staff of twelve, mentoring team members to support their professional development and maximize the success of the M/WBE Program.   Believing that no job is too small, she has embraced a variety of responsibilities to strengthen DDC’s engagement with M/WBEs, including representing the agency at external events, evaluating project proposals, co-creating standard operating procedures, and developing outreach programs to attract eligible enterprises. Janelle works to ensure M/WBE representation across DDC’s $33 billion portfolio, including the Pedestrian Ramps Program, Coastal Resiliency projects, and Design-Build Public Works projects. She has also worked with the Mayor’s Office of Contracts to ensure DDC’s alignment with local laws and has collaborated with the NYC Department of Small Business Services to advance M/WBE program goals.   On a recent visit to the East Side Coastal Resiliency Project, a coastal protection initiative designed to reduce climate change-related flooding on the East Side of Manhattan, Janelle observed construction progress from M/WBE partners, including work contributing to floodwalls, flood gates, and land elevations. She also met with DDC partners, serving as an agency liaison to facilitate M/WBE involvement in agency projects.   Finding it rewarding to help M/WBE’s contribute to high-profile capital projects and develop recognition in the construction industry, Janelle’s motivation and relationship-building abilities have been instrumental in DDC’s procurement processes, helping the agency develop a contractual community representative of New York City’s diverse population.
