With just 19 months to go, Burden has a lot on her plate, including rezonings of West Harlem, Bedford-Stuyvesant and a stretch of Fordham Road in the Bronx. There’s also the proposed legislation intended to spur redevelopment of Office Space On Park Avenue and surrounding Grand Central Terminal, totaling millions of square feet in space. Even If she decides to step down, DOB will have rezoned roughly 40 percent of New York City under her watch.

During her tenure, Burden has helped transform the Brooklyn waterfront, the High Line park and the Hudson Yards neighborhood. [NYT]
