Olmstead Ave, Unionport

Olmstead avenue is a primarily residential street that runs from Pugsley Creek accross to major highways including the Cross Bronx and the Bruckner Epressway. The street has small shops like delis and barber shops along the way. While a small neighborhood style street it provides East West access through small neighborhoods in the Bronx. One downside is that the Cross Bronx Expressway cuts the road in two pieces requiring drivers to make a few turns, but there are walking bridges for pedestrians. Olsmstead also provides a nice link over to Westchester Avenue, a major artery through the Brinx that runs under the elevated train.
