Call the mall ‘Kingsbridge Krossing’

Posted

To the editor:

Maybe I'm the only one who thinks so, but it's ridiculous that the mall at 237th and Broadway is going to be called “Riverdale Crossing” (“Hilltoppers appear cool to new shopping centers,” Aug. 28, 2014). If we opened up a mall on Independence Avenue, we wouldn't name it after Van Corltandt Park. And, as the paper documents, there are concerns with competition with Kingsbridge businesses, concerns with traffic and parking in Kingsbride, and according to the reporting, people from Riverdale don't even plan to shop there. So let's stop hob-nobbing and celebrate who we are and what we have. Kingsbridge Krossing should be an interesting new place to shop in our neighborhood.
