creativity, and sustainability. The Mott Haven
neighborhood in the Southern Bronx is fight-
ing against a new Fresh Direct warehouse
because of high asthma rates and desire for
water front access via a greenway. The pro-
posed project finds a compromise between
the two groups. It includes a ground-level
Fresh Direct warehouse with native green roof
parkspace sloping up from the riverside and a
rooftop commercial greenhouse. The park will
focus on recreation, community garden plots,
and education on the sustainability of the site
through interpretive signage.
