City kicks out makeshift, migrant-friendly ‘trailer park’ near Bronx Little League

The two dozen motorhomes illegally parked outside of a Bronx Little League field have been booted from the area after The Post spotlighted the makeshift, migrant-friendly “trailer park” last week.Ā 

The 26 motor homes and camping trailers that languished along Allerton and Bruner avenues near Astor Little League in BaycšŸ¦¹hester were removed by the NYPD and city Department of Sanitation on Monday, along with their accompanying generators, propane šŸ€…tanks, and rank trash piles, according to relieved parents and coaches. 

ā€œI feel excelšŸŒlent. . . . our parents are happy because we have enough parking and the area is super clean,ā€ said Eladio Rodriguez, the league president.

ā€œItā€™s a huge relief and we are thankful. . . šŸø. that something was done. It just shouldnā€™t have taken that long,ā€ noted baseball dadą±  Steven Grskovic, 46.

A caravan on Bruner Avenue that housed 35-yeź¦Æar-old Venezuelan migrant Gilberto Laguna aź§’nd four other men was among those that were relocated from the area.
