The Bronx is unfortunately not known as NYC's healthiest borough. A lack of access to supermarkets, both by foot and by public transit, is a large part of this problem.

This map is a geostatistical analysis of clusters of bus riders weighted against the combined elderly and disabled populations of census blocks. This map was designed to illustrate the concentration of elderly and disabled residents in Co-Op City, hopefully encouraging the MTA to invest in more low-floor buses for Eastchester Depot.

Asthma and poverty are far too common in the Bronx. I subscribe to the theory that most of these problems come from bad urban planning choices made decades ago. Highways such as the Cross Bronx Expressway, in addition to rapid industrialization and restriction to waterfronts and open space, seem to have decided the fate of many Bronxites.

MAPPING THE BRONX
As a student of Lehman College and Bronx resident, much of my cartographic work has focused on the mainland borough. Visualizing the Bronx' problems helps point out solutions and illustrate them to community members, politicians, and other stakeholders.

This map, a part of my capstone project, shows which Bee-Line bus routes should be eligible for 24 hour service.

This map, a hypothetical project developed for one of my courses, shows the area surrounding lakes in Katonah and the streets that are most likely to drain road salt into the watershed.

This map, a preliminary map of my Bee-Line bus and retail corridor project, shows the routes and the retail land use parcels they pass.

MAPPING WESTCHESTER COUNTY
Although I'm a native Bronxite, much of my time has been spent in Westchester County. My final project of my graduate career will focus on optimizing the Bee-Line bus system to better serve retail and entertainment workers in the southern portion of the county.
