addition, $160 million will be invested in many public parks including a running track, tennis facilities, and softball and baseball fields on parkland around and including the original Yankee Stadium. Carrión has helped to bring in funding to improve other parts of the community, including $65 million to be invested in restoration of the pedestrian Highbridge, the oldest bridge in New York City which connects the Bronx to Manhattan, and $91 million to be invested in constructing a new Metro-North Station at the new Yankee Stadium. Also being planned in the area is a Yankee Stadium Sports Museum and a fitness/health club. Bronx Terminal Market Just south of the new Yankee Stadium is the Gateway Center at Bronx Terminal Market, which replaced a dilapidated public market and the closed Bronx House of Detention. Hunts Point Vision Plan Carrión worked with Mayor Bloomberg and community leaders to re-envision industrial area on the Bronx waterfront. Key components of the plan include $110 million invested by the city for infrastructure improvements, $85 million development of the Fulton Fish Market at Hunts Point, $25 million development of the Produce Market, the construction of the new Barretto Point Park, the South Bronx Greenway Initiative, and a re-use plan for the Marine Transfer Station which is still in negotiations. Issues and controversies Party affiliation Until the New York City Charter was amended in 2008, it prevented Carrión from seeking a third term as borough president. He raised money for citywide office and it was widely speculated that he was contemplating running for Mayor of New York City. On December 13, 2007, however, he announced that he was running in the 2009 New York City Comptroller's race to replace the existing Comptroller (Bill Thompson) who, at the time, was also term limited. As events turned out in 2009, Thompson ran for Mayor while Carrión left the borough presidency before the end of his second term in order to accept his post in the Obama administration. Navy bombing exercises in Puerto Rico In 2001, he and three others including the Rev. Al Sharpton travelled to Puerto Rico to protest the Navy's bombing exercises on the island of Vieques. The "Vieques Four" were imprisoned by the federal government for more than 40 days for protesting the policy. Their actions led to President Bush's imposition of a permanent moratorium on weapons testing on the island Fire in the Bronx On
