Labor unions, members of the Bronx Chamber of Commerce, clergy groups and Bronx community organizations rallied in support of the plan. Meanwhile, Bronx residents held a separate rally calling on the City Council to reject the plan claiming that it will reduce recreational space.If the committee approves the plan, it will go to the full council next week.
