A new Department of Motor Vehicles office at the Bronx Terminal Market opened Monday, drawing large crowds on its first day and replacing the former Fordham Road location that quietly closed earlier this fall.<\/p>\n
Customers arriving at the old site in recent weeks found it shuttered, but state officials say the move to the mall\u2019s sixth floor \u2014 next to Best Buy \u2014 is meant to improve accessibility and reduce wait times. <\/p>\n
The new office is designed as a one-stop shop, allowing visitors to run errands in the mall before or after their appointments.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s closed? Yeah, I did not know that,\u201d said Brian, a Bronx resident who visited the new location. He said check-in was smooth and that he received his number quickly.<\/p>\n
Another customer, Shameka, said she checked in online and was seen \u201cpretty fast.\u201d<\/p>\n
DMV Commissioner Mark Schroeder said the new site offers easier access to public transit and multiple parking garages for drivers. <\/p>\n
Assemblymember Landon Dais, who represents the 77th District, noted that parking near the Fordham Road office \u201cwas nearly impossible,\u201d calling the expanded parking at the Terminal Market a major improvement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new Department of Motor Vehicles office at the Bronx Terminal Market opened Monday, drawing large crowds on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57813,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,31288,31287,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-57812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-bronx-terminal-market","tag-dmv","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57812\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
