City advances White Plains Road neighborhood plan in the North Bronx

New York City officials said on May 20, 2026 that they are moving forward with a neighborhood planning process for the White Plains Road corridor in the North Bronx, with public engagement and an online survey set to help shape a zoning concept map next year. The city said the effort will focus on a transit-accessible commercial corridor that has seen limited new housing, particularly affordable housing, which makes this a relevant planning update for local agents, buyers, sellers, and homeowners watching future land-use changes, redevelopment potential, and corridor investment in the area.
