Nassau County, NY unveils its vision for for New Suburbia -- a three square-mile area in the center of Nassau County, Long Island, known as the 'Nassau Hub.'
"The plan begins with a new transportation system that will link existing communities, recreational areas, and business centers with the hub. (Transit options include: bus rapid transit, light rail transit, and automated guideway transit.) Building off of the transportation improvements, the plan suggests new office buildings, new sports entertainment and tourism venues, a zoo at Eisenhower Park, college housing in Hempstead Village, improving Museum Row at Mitchel Field, a green-belt 'emerald ribbon' of pedestrian walkways and bicycle paths connecting existing parks and preserves, and a new transit boulevard from EAB Plaza to Roosevelt Field Mall."
