Jerome Avenue

Saint James Park is passed to the east of Jerome, south of the intersection with Kingsbridge Road.

As Jerome passes Lehman College, Bedford Park Boulevard (200th Street) intersects.

There, Jerome Avenue intersects with Gun Hill Road, with Van Cortlandt Park to the west.

Borough President Louis F. Haffen selected contractors in 1897 to pave Jerome Avenue.

The southern part of the avenue, from the intersection with 161st Street, formed the western edge of Macombs Dam Park.

In March 2018, the New York City Council voted to approve the rezoning of 92 blocks in the South Bronx, centered along Jerome Avenue from 165th to 184th Streets.

At the time of the rezoning, the corridor consisted mainly of small businesses, warehouses, and auto-parts shops.

The line and the 4 train have their northern terminus at Woodlawn, at the eastern edge of Van Cortlandt Park.

[12] The Bedford Park Boulevard, Mosholu Parkway, and Woodlawn stations opened on April 15, 1918.
