Michael Kavalar presents the vision for integrating the new Metro North stations into the fabric of Bronx communities. He describes the collaborative planning process and showcases conceptual renderings of potential developments around the stations.
- The plan aims to create new 'front doors' to Bronx communities and world-class entry points to job centers.
- Renderings show potential developments at Morris Park and Parkchester Van Nest stations.
- The vision includes strengthening job centers, allowing for housing and retail growth, and mending community divisions created by inadequate infrastructure.
- Emphasis is placed on creating a mix of housing and retail near new rail service in areas that have seen little such growth.
