The City Council is set to approve an ambitious rezoning proposal to develop thousands of new housing units around new Metro-North stations being built in the Bronx.
The Council’s Zoning Subcommittee and Land Use Committee on Tuesday each voted to advance the modified proposal, which would allow the development of thousands of new housing units around new train stations in the eastern Bronx serving Metro-North’s New Haven Line. The proposal now goes to the full Council for a vote, where it will likely sail through with support from the local Council Members.
