So I guess to have a "Downtown Bronx" would be to knock down the housing projects by 3rd Av- 138th st (green line metro stop)?

But do it in 3-6 phases so they'd have time to relocate. Knock down building one by one (6 phases) or 2 by 2 (3 phases). Honestly, Bronx needs a Downtown Business District. It's quite ashame that it doesn't.

Maybe, class A office buildings lining the Bronx's waterfront? Or course they'd build luxury apartments and condo's on that waterfront as well. Would have great Manhattan views.

But yeah, "Downtown Bronx" needs to happen!

I actually agree with this. The entire stretch of 138th up to 149th should be redeveloped and rezoned as office buildings

But uuuuuh technically the 6 train stop at 138th and Alexander is the green line local stop so this proposition isn't too out of place. When they redevelop the waterfront, which is happening in spurts sh** will get real

I think "The Hub" area on 149th street or the court area on 161st could act as a Bronx downtown.

My friend who is born and raised in nyc calls the trains by their colors.

Yeah I'm sure a lot of people don't know what "Lexington Ave" or "6th Ave" lines mean
