During Monday’s so-called State of the MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority) address, Executive Director Eliot Sander talked about expanding Metro-North service to Co-op City, Parkchester and Hunts Point in the Bronx.
As for the northwest Bronx, Sander also mentioned a possible northeastern extension of the D train to connect it with the 2 and 5 train subway stations across the Bronx River at Gun Hill Road. He said the Metro-North Williams Bridge station nearby could then be combined into a new mega-transportation hub offering easier access to Manhattan.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
