metro-north commuter ridership as of Aug 2006=1762 a day for 3 stations

glenwood 327, greystone 513, Yonkers 922 . i didn’t count Ludlow which had 250 commuters , somehow i am sure it will fit into the equation.

Alexander master plan calls for 3750 residences.

SFC development calls for another 2000 residences in same general area.

can metro-north accommodate this quick increase and the thirty percentĀ  expected increase due to the upcoming congestion pricing .

i like metro-north, but i wonder how it can accommodate triple ridership levels on a small section.

Did the planners get a statement from metro-north concerning the ability to absorb the increase
