The LIRR for some reason or another just doesn't seem to be interested in providing any reverse peak commuting service (admittedly because they're restricted by track capacities), and the various towns and villages themselves just appear to be uninterested in that type of development.One of things that I've noticed when I've taken commuter rail is that on NJT and MNCR, you notice a slight build up in density near the train stations. You'll see apartments, condos, and multi-story commercial developments. In contrast, on the LIRR, it's rare to see such development. but figured that local zoning and limited highway access would prevent the village from ever becoming a "major" business center. That's another thing. The Parkways here on the island tend to bypass the villages very well. In contrast, I-95 and I-287 go thru the downtowns of Stamford and White Plains (and Morristown too).
