Ronkonkoma is a run down summer bungalow little town (at least near where the station is), still surrounded by scrub pitchpine forest. Whatever homes are near there are run down little bungalos. It never was anything more than that. It's not even really suburban, and urban certainly not.The people here who keep advocating for Ronkonkoma to become a TOD don't realize that comparing to Stamford or White Plains is the worst comparison to make. Ronkonkoma sorta fills the same niche that a Brewster or Suffern fills. It's basically the end of 1tph service, and where the exurbs begin. LIRR's closest comparison to Stamford and White Plains would be Mineola, and compared to the former, Mineola's "low dense" like most other areas around LIRR stations. La Grande Anse |
