New Transit Ties in Yankee Stadium Plan

The NY Yankees have proposed a new $700 million stadium in Macombs Dam Park across the street from their current Bronx home. The NY Post reports the plan includes a Harlem River ferry terminal and a new Metro-North Hudson Line station.

In the current MTA capital plan there is $20 million allotted for the Metro North station "once the lease discussion between the City of New York and the Yankees is complete." The MTA Commuter Relations Department reported that the station is only in its negotiation stage, and has not even begun planning.
