Metro North Penn Station Access finally breaks ground in The Bronx with four new stations to be ready by 2027

After over two decades since it was first announced, the ground has broken for the much-anticipated Metro North Penn Station Access which will bring four brand new Metro North Stations to the East #Bronx and reducing commutes by as much as 50 min each way

After decades of promises and false starts, ground has finally broken on the transformative Metro North Penn Station access in The Bronx today. The ceremonial groundbreaking event was held at the site of the future Parkchester/Van Nest Metro North stop—one of four to be constructed in the East Bronx—that will bring direct rail service to Manhattan’s Penn Station as well as points north to…

According to Israel Hayom, Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has recently begun to meet with “Jewish leaders in her election district.”

OK, so Ariel Kahanah, who reported the story, doesn’t know that AOC represents NY 14, which includes the eastern part of The Bronx and part of north-central Queens. The Queens portion includes Astoria, College Point, Corona, East Elmhurst, Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, and Woodside. The Bronx portion of the district includes City Island, Country Club, Van Nest, Morris Park, Parkchester, Pelham Bay, Schuylerville, and Throggs Neck.

I checked the UJA databank on the Jewish community of NY 14. It has 26,300 individuals who define themselves as Jews, out of roughly 700,000 residents, who are 50% Hispanic, 17% Asian, and 9% Black.

Out of the Jewish population, 8,400 are 65 and older––1,500 of whom live alone, and 12,400 are ages 40 to 64. 7,600 are poor or near-poor. 3,000 are of Russian origin. 5,600 are biracial. Fewer than 7,000 attend any synagogue, be it Orthodox, Conservative, or Reform.

In other words, AOC very likely did not meet with Jewish leaders in her election district. According to Israel Hayom, she held several closed meetings with a group of rabbis and Jewish leaders, men and women, who belong to the progressive wing of the Jewish community and some of whom are close to J Street.

And this is the bag where the AOC cat has been hiding all along. AOC met with progressive Jews from J Street and similar anti-Zionist, anti-Israel circles. And the reason she had to keep those meetings secret is that even those lefty Jews are kind of pariahs to the squad caucus.

Local service is denoted by a (6) in a circular bullet, and express service is denoted by a <6> in a diamond-shaped bullet. 

On the R62A rolling stock, this is often indicated by LEDs around the service logo to indicate local or express service to riders. The LEDs illuminate in a green circle pattern for 6 local trains and in a red diamond pattern for <6> trains.

6 trains operate local at all times between Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx and Brooklyn Bridge–City Hall in Lower Manhattan. During weekdays in the peak direction, <6> Pelham Express trains replace 6 local trains north of Parkchester, and run express between that station and Third Avenue–138th Street. During this time, 6 Pelham Local trains short turn at Parkchester (except for peak-direction <6> Express trains that return in the opposite direction as 6 Local trains).

REP. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ CAMPAIGNS IN PHILADELPHIA.

Photos by Christopher Hall.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke at a Get Out the Vote rally in Philadelphia in a final effort to mobilize voters to hit the polls for the general election this Tuesday. 

At the event, which took place at the cultural organization Taller Puertorriqueño in North Philadelphia, Representative Ocasio-Cortez highlighted the importance of the election cycle for Latino voters to a diverse audience of families, community leaders, and volunteers. Other speakers, including state Representative Danilo Burgos and Allentown Mayor Matthew Tuerk, also contributed messages of urgency about the upcoming presidential election.

Representative Ocasio-Cortez highlighted the previous struggles of the Puerto Rican community, but she also underscored the broader ramifications of a potential second Trump term on a variety of marginalized groups. 

“His neglect of people on the island resulted in thousands of American deaths due to the blocking of aid, lack of responsiveness, and lack of the ability to see Puerto Ricans as equal,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “This is not just about Puerto Ricans — this is about how Trump treats everybody. It’s about how he treats Black Americans, about how he treats women, and about how he treats working-class people.”
