Filter Foes Protest on Official's Doorstep
 

Plant Foes Protest on Official's Doorstep Two busloads of Bronx residents paid an unannounced visit to the Upper West Side home of Christopher Ward, commissioner of the city's Department of Environmental Protection, on March 27. Ward wasn't home but the protesters chanted, "We'll be back!" and "The Bronx is not for sale!" a reference to a promise of parks improvements traded to secure lawmaker's permission to tear up the Norwood section of Van Cortlandt Park for a water filtration plant. The action was organized by the Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition.
