Bronx Metro-North Station Area Study - Bronx Metro-North Update, April 2024

 

Monthly Bronx Metro-North Neighborhood Plan Update April 2024

Metro-North Neighborhood Plan pulls up to Bronx Community Boards for public hearings and votes!

 All Aboard!  

Bronx Metro-North has now finished community board review, with Bronx Community Board 9 voting unanimously to support the proposal, and Bronx Community Board 11 also showing overwhelming support for the proposal, with conditions. The plan seeks to rethink land use around new Metro-North stations in the East Bronx, allowing for thousands of new transit-oriented homes, jobs, and public open space.

See details on the community board votes here!

Next stop for review of the proposal?

EDITOR'S NOTE:

The City Planning Conmission has already put the City of YES for Housing Opportunity and Economic Development in the Metro North rezoning before the City Council has even voted on either item. 

City Planning has not mentioned the 21 conditions that Community Board 11 place with its conditional approval, and if any of the 21 conditions will be met. 

Tell Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson not to approve the Metro North Rezoning, and tell Community Board 11 to withdraw its conditional support of the Metro North rezoning because City Planning has not told the truth about the rezoning proposal, and has not mentioned which if any of the 21 conditions Community Board 11 is seeking that City Planning will meet. 

Say no to the City of YES because the Department of City Planning has not told the truth about the East Bronx rezoning plan.
