Home<New York Area<Metro-North<Morris Heights
Morris Heights is located in a very obsure location just beyond on the I-87, the Major Deegan Expressway, between it and the Harlem River. It is surrounded by a lot of large low-income housing developments as well as Roberto Clemente State Park on the River Side of the station. The station inself was completely rebuilt quite recently as is an island platform in a very similar layout to it's sister station University Heights one stop north. It has one long island platform that connects to the street via a single staircase and an elevator at the southern end of the platform. On street level these are both in an enclosed shelter and the station canopy streaches from it part of the way down the platform. The platform itself also has a small mostly inclosed waiting area on it for protection from the wind. There is a single Daily Tickets TVM in a structure that looks like an old bus shelter adjacent to the station entrance on the street level.
