My continuing quest to visit all 2217 census tracts in New York City on foot. Want to know more?

Bronx Progress - February 2008 through January 2010

I am, quite honestly, embarrassed at my lack of progress in the Bronx. 7 tracts in 2 years is pretty pathetic. Staten Island I can justify (no subway, large tracts), but I really should have gotten around the Bronx more.

2006 was really my Bronx year - I'd wanted to walk 100 tracts for a school project, evenly spread throughout the borough, which is why my Bronx map is so much more scattered than the other boroughs. I probably walked through at least a few dozen tracts more as just a side of effect of getting to the ones I was counting, but this was before I was really keeping serious track of where I'd walked, and if they weren't part of the project then I didn't note them.

Still, my Bronx progress had quality if not quantity. I managed a few interesting walks - and also to get to one of the most elusive census tracts in New York - North Brother Island.
