Taking a second look at a Bronx landmark

The Bronx Grand Concourse — the physical and, in some ways, cultural, center of the borough — turns 100 this year. In honor of this milestone, the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the Design Trust for Public Space has sponsored a competition, “Intersections: The Grand Concourse Beyond 100,” to reimagine the space. The seven finalists’ renderings run the gamut from agricultural oasis, with copious flowers and greenery, to illuminated landscapes, complete with a long strip of lit structures. Although it’s unclear whether these renderings will become a reality, the hope is that the competition may generate some public interest.
