The main article refers to the 1914 opening of the IND Concourse Line, but the Concourse Line did not open until 1933. In fact the IND system had not even been proposed as of 1914. The nearby Jerome Avenue El (the IRT Woodlawn Line) opened in 1917. This might have been what the author had in mind. I can't clear this up myself because I don't know enough about the history of the Grand Concourse to say what part of the original statement, that the 1914 opening of the Concourse Line encouraged people to move into housing along the Grand Concourse. Does anybody have any guesses? 69.141.29.225 04:15, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Yes, you are correct about 1914 being an error and the article being incorrect. Actually it was the opening of the IRT Jerome Avenue line that spurred development of the west Bronx, including the Grand Councourse, given further impetus by the opening of the Concourse line in 1933. I will fix.-- Mantanmoreland 14:28, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
"Risse first conceived of the road in 1870, as a means of connecting the borough of Manhattan to the parkway in the northern Bronx." Eh? What Bronx? West of the Bronx River and south of Yonkers was just various villages in the southwest end of Westchester County, right? What borough of Manhattan? Did New York have any boroughs at the time? And most difficult of all, what parkway, in 1870? Jim.henderson ( talk) 19:06, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
In the references section, one article is described as being written by Constance Rosenbaum, but the author's name is Constance Rosenblum, as is seen when redirected to the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nyc803 ( talk • contribs) 02:15, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
This article says nothing about the design of the Concourse in regards to crossing traffic. The way that major cross streets intersect via underpasses is probably unique in New York City. How these came to be implemented (WPA??) deserves comment. Klausner ( talk) 05:12, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

There is a Wikipedia user who argues that this content should not be included in the article on the grounds that "Wikipedia is not a newspaper":
The source of the section is a New York Times article: " Rare Disease Strikes a Bronx Area All Too Familiar With Rats" ( The New York Times - February 15, 2017) - The article stated that rat infestations had been a recurring issue in the community, and that a man died from the disease, which is not common in western countries.
I argued on his talk page that there are times when news events should be covered, because of the potential of long-term impact to the subject: User_talk:Bellagio99##Wikipedia:NOT a newspaper does not always exclude news "
The response from the Wikipedian was: "
I strongly disagree with that rationale. Firstly, there are daughter articles of Los Angeles (a very broad, general article which by definition must have its coverage trimmed) which can, and do, contain this type of information (especially if deaths/damage occur): they can be articles about the history of Los Angeles, the weather of Los Angeles, and/or specific neighborhoods. Neighborhood articles like this are supposed to be a repository of specific information and specific news. Any news discussing recurring issues/lasting impact on a neighborhood, especially one with commentary from major media, should be included. The "limited area of the Bronx" is the subject of this article.
Also the fact that the The New York Times of all publications took the time to write an article detailing this problem tells me that weight should be given to this aspect. WhisperToMe ( talk) 03:12, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

An article in an April New Yorker focuses on 860 Grand Concourse, north of the court house. Altho it is mostly about a doorman in that building who was an early covid death, there is a lot about the building. If someone would like to build it into the article, I can easily find the exact reference. I, personally, could not figure out how to do it. Bellagio99 ( talk) 18:10, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
