The ultimate goal is to reduce commute times and generate job growth.
Multiple new stations, along with thousands of new homes and jobs are part of the mayor's Bronx Metro-North plan. CeFaan Kim has the details.A large infrastructure plan has been set into motion that will connect the east side of the Bronx to Penn Station.
The new stations being built will cut down on commuting times for residents and will make it easier for people to get to the west side of Manhattan. Metro-North says it expects some stations to have service every 20 minutes during peak hours and shave off about 50 minutes each way to and from Penn Station.
This will be welcome news for people in Westchester and Connecticut and other areas considered transit deserts.
