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.I think you're somewhat mistaken there. In Nassau County, you'll find that the apartment and condo developments are typically located right near (within, say 1/2 mile -- a 10 minute walk) the LIRR stations -- off the top of my head this is the case in Valley Stream, Lynbrook, Rockville Centre, Baldwin, Freeport, Centre Avenue, Oceanside, Gibson, Woodmere, Garden City, Great Neck, Mineola, Westbury (which is teeming with new residential condo construction) and probably a bunch of others. The captioned statement is probably more accurate in Suffolk County where development came later and is more clustered around highways and main roads rather than railroad stations. |
