Green Elevated Train Proposal

The centerpiece of KRVC’s Broadway in the Bronx proposal is our green elevated train proposal.  Imagine a beautified structure, partially enclosed with an acoustic barrier and lights.  Imagine the portion of the Bronx under the elevated train more attractive, less noisy and better lit. Imagine a green roof/highline above the train with benches, trees and grass from 225th Street through 242nd Street.  Imagine an elevated park at the north end of the platform at 242nd Street connecting the elevated train to our cherished Van Cortlandt Park.  This proposed project would transform our already bustling Broadway in the Bronx into a destination for shopping, dining, entertainment and recreation by making the elevated train a functional attraction.
