Bronx
Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. and the Metropolitan Transportation
Authority announced that they will offer four information sessions to
the public to learn more about the proposal to bring Metro-North service
to the East Bronx.
Information
sessions will be held in Hunts Point, Parkchester, Morris Park and
Co-op City—the four neighborhoods that would see Metro-North service
expansions if the East Bronx service plan were enacted.
“We
want to give the people of the Bronx a real opportunity to review these
plans and to offer their own thoughts on the future of transportation
in our borough,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. “These
meetings will give my staff and the MTA a chance to hear from Bronxites
about these plans, and to use that feedback in a constructive manner.
The
first meeting will take place in Morris Park on Monday, September 10 at
the Price Center/Block Pavilion auditorium at the Albert Einstein
College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, 1300 Morris Park Avenue (at
intersection of Eastchester Road). An open house will begin at 6:30
p.m., followed by a presentation on the project at 7 p.m.
Meetings will also take place in Co-op City on September 24 at the Dreiser Loop Community Center, 177 Dreiser Loop, 2nd Floor Auditorium B;
in Hunts Point at Casita Maria, 928 Simpson Street, on October 2; and
in Parkchester at St. Raymond’s High School for Boys, 2151 St. Raymond
Avenue (corner of East Tremont Avenue and Purdy Street) on October 22.
These meetings will begin with open houses at 6:30 p.m., followed by
presentations at 7 p.m.
Editors Note: We were the first to bring you that Metro North service would be coming to the East Bronx back in May which appeared in our column in the Bronx News, Parkchester News, and Coop-City News.
