Probably not. But the MTA has other priorities, and there are bigger missed uppurtunites elsewhere. The City is currently building a 7 line extension to 34h Street with no other stops on the west side. The MTA couldn't be bothered with it, but they
are building the second ave subway. They are completing the LIRR connection into Grand Central though, which is something more significant than a Metro North station on the west side. When you consider that there may also be a new MN station on west 125th Street, its not as if the upper west side residents won't have options. Still, it would have been more convenient for the neighborhood residents to have their own Metro North station. Maybe Co-op City in the Bronx will get their long awaited station too.
