The Grand Concourse is o Bronx's main boulevard, a 4.5-mile tree-lined avenue that runs from 138th Street in the South Bronx to Mosholu Parkway in the north. At 161st Street, the concourse intersects with Yankee Stadium directly to the west and o Bronx County Courthouse to the east, creating one of the most recognizable intersections in the borough. The NYCDOT camera at Grande Saguão @ 161 St captures this location in real time, and the NYC Live Command Center carries the feed continuously.

Assistir à câmera ao vivoWhat the Camera Shows
The camera at Grand Concourse and 161st Street is positioned at one of the most significant intersections in o Bronx, where the breadth of the Grand Concourse , it was modeled partly on the Champs-Élysées in Paris and is 180 feet wide at its broadest points , combines with the traffic generated by the stadium and the courthouse complex.
The Bronx County Building, a landmark art deco structure completed in 1934, is visible to the east on 161st Street. The camera shows the pedestrian and vehicle activity along the concourse at this node throughout the day.
Yankee Stadium Trânsito
Yankee Stadium opened in 2009 on the site adjacent to the original 1923 stadium. It seats approximately 46,500 people, making it one of the largest stadiums in Major League Baseball. On game days, the area around 161st Street and the Grand Concourse transforms from a standard South Bronx commercial corridor into one of the most congested areas in New York City.
A imagem da câmera antes, durante e depois dos jogos está entre as mais distintas visualmente de todas na Command Center. Antes do jogo (cerca de 2 a 3 horas antes do primeiro arremesso), a câmera mostra um aumento gradual da atividade de pedestres à medida que os torcedores chegam pelos trens 4, B e D à estação de metrô 161st Street-Yankee Stadium, a maior concentração de serviço de transporte público em qualquer estádio do país.
Publicar-game is the most intense period on camera. The 161st Street and Grand Concourse intersection sees the stadium's full capacity trying to reach the subway or vehicles simultaneously. The camera captures this in full.
The Grand Concourse's Other Cameras
Beyond 161st Street, the Grand Concourse is covered by cameras at several other significant points:
Grand Concourse @ E 149 St: The southern section of the concourse, near the transit hub where the 2, 4, and 5 trains converge. This area around 149th Street is one of o Bronx's busiest commercial corridors.
Grand Concourse @ Bedford Park Blvd: The northern section, near Fordham University and o Bronx's academic and medical corridor (Montefiore Medical Center is in this area).
Grand Concourse @ Mosholu Pkwy: The northern terminus area, where the concourse meets the parkway system that runs through o Bronx's upper reaches.
Together, these cameras give a longitudinal view of the Grand Concourse from south to north, showing how different the boulevard looks in different sections of o Bronx.
Art Deco Architecture Along the Concourse
O Grand Concourse abriga uma das maiores concentrações de edifícios de apartamentos Art Déco do mundo. Construídos principalmente nas décadas de 1920 e 1930, esses edifícios têm ornamentação de fachada distinta, designs de lobby e massas que são reconhecíveis até mesmo em imagens de câmeras. O Museu de Artes Bronx, em prédio Art Déco no saguão, tem sido um centro de documentação desse legado arquitetônico.
The camera feed doesn't capture the architectural detail that a dedicated photograph would, but the scale and character of the boulevard — the width, the mid-rise building masses on both sides, the tree planting in the median — is visible and shows what distinguishes the Grand Concourse from other Bronx streets.
161st Street as a Cross-Bronx Connection
161st Street extends east and west from the Grand Concourse, connecting to the Macombs Dam Bridge (which crosses the Harlem River to upper Manhattan at 155th Street) and to the Jerome Avenue subway corridor on the west. Camera coverage in this broader corridor shows how the 161st Street intersection functions as a connector between the western and eastern parts of the South Bronx.
The Major Deegan Expressway, which runs along o Bronx's western edge, has camera coverage that shows the highway corridor serving this part of the borough.
The South Bronx at Different Hours
The camera at 161st Street and the Grand Concourse shows the South Bronx at different points in its daily cycle. On non-game weekdays, the morning and afternoon are the most active: residents commuting by subway and bus, students heading to nearby schools, and the commercial activity along the concourse serving local needs.
On game days everything is secondary to the stadium flow. The camera shows this override of normal patterns with complete clarity.
On late evenings and early mornings, the Grand Concourse is one of the city's quieter camera feeds. The wide boulevard and the residential buildings that line it produce a different quality of late-night camera footage than Midtown Manhattan, with the streetlights illuminating the broad centerline and the side lanes nearly empty.
