Jerome Avenue
The Department of City Planning’s proposed rezoning of the Jerome Avenue corridor was approved by the City Council by a vote of 48-0 on March 22, 2018.
So far, the city has approved six of the 15 rezonings Mayor de Blasio thought he’d accomplish, with one remaining on the docket. Here’s a quick video tour through the communities that have been rezoned.
