Posted by Joe on Wed Jul 1 21:08:41 2015, in response to Former Bx9, now Bx31, on Eastchester Road, posted by Joe on Tue Jun 30 13:01:54 2015. More comments on Bx31, formerly Bx9, dating back 80 years or more:Eastchester Road is hidden from Westchester Square. A few years ago, trying to reach Calvary Hospital, I took East Tremont Avenue west past Westchester Square. Hey! You must fork off onto Williamsbridge Road, then make a right turn onto northbound Eastchester Road. Likewise, from Tremont Avenue eastbound you cut through on Silver Street. --- I must commend those in the bus division who finally sent the Bx31 through the Edenwald Houses. More than 5,000 people live there, The old route on jumped over to Bronxwood Avenue too soon. I also commend the planners on extending the line with its frequent service to the North Division of Montefiore Hospital and up Katonah Avenue. When Mom spent twenty years living in Woodlawn Heights, there was no bus going up the steep hill from the hospital to White Plains Road. In modifying routes, I think the bus division has done a good job linking hospital to where their staff resides. |
