NYC Marathon Revises Bronx Route to Restore Local Access

For the first time since 2011, the NYC Marathon will alter its Bronx course, reducing seven turns to five and changing the mile-20-to-21 segment so runners stay on Alexander Avenue, head up to 138th Street and 141st Street, then onto Third Avenue before crossing the Madison Avenue Bridge back to Manhattan.

Bronx Legionella outbreak includes Yankee Stadium cooling tower

NYC health officials say a cooling tower at Yankee Stadium is among 10 cooling towers in the South Bronx that preliminarily tested positive for Legionella as part of a Legionnaires’ disease outbreak; all 10 towers must be cleaned and disinfected by Sept. 14 while confirmatory tests determine if live bacteria are present. The cluster has nine diagnosed cases and one death, with eight towers already in compliance with a May testing requirement. Officials say indoor air and daily activities like showering remain safe, and it’s not yet known if any specific tower caused the infections. The affected ZIP codes are 10451 and 10456.

Bronx Park Near Yankee Stadium Falls Into Disrepair as Community Demands Action

At Macombs Dam Park, the block of space built on the old Yankee Stadium site in the Bronx has fallen into disrepair—unsafe fields, trash, and lingering neglect highlight a gap between a billionaire-fueled franchise and a low-income community that says it’s owed better; while city officials trumpet ongoing maintenance and a forthcoming renovation, funding gaps and questions about private participation mean real improvements are uncertain, turning a historic landmark into a symbol of unmet promises.
