Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. signs a petition to urge Amtrak to cease their delay tactics and stop holding up the opening up of four new Bronx Metro North stations. The plan is to bring new transit options to Coop-City, Morris Park, Parkchester/Van Nest and hunts Point by expanding commuter rail options along existing Amtrak rail track and existing Metro North train routes.
The holdup includes track repair and the repair of a train bridge on the route, which Amtrak wants Metro North to fully fund.
