"THE OUTDOOR MALL EXPERIENCE"

After ten long years of planning and community outreach,
The Fordham Road Business Improvement District (BID)
became a reality on July 1, 2005.

The BID extends from Third Avenue to Jerome Avenue along Fordham Road and also includes the commercial areas on select side streets.  The district is comprised of approximately 80 buildings and almost 300 businesses ranging from nationwide chains
to locally-owned independent shops.

Managed by the Fordham Road District Management Association Inc., the BID is a non-profit corporation under contract with the City of New York to provide supplementary services to the community:

Sanitation Services
The BID sanitation team has maintained an environment free of litter and graffiti in an effort to keep the areas along Fordham Road clean. The “clean team” hauls an average of 162,500 lbs, of trash a month. Each of seven full-time workers dedicate at least five hours a week to regular removal.

Marketing & Promotions Services Fordham Road “Advantage” Program The Fordham Road Business Improvement District (BID) has strengthened the relationship between local businesses and the community by implementing the Fordham Road “Advantage” Program.  This program provides a specified discount to students, faculty, and staff of participating area institutions which include Bronx Community College, CUNY on the Concourse with registered Workforce1 members, Fordham University, Lehman College and Monroe College. A total of approximately 50,000 people will have access to discounted shopping in various stores along Fordham Road. For details about BID events and programs, click here.
