Like I said before, no reason there can't be additional stations/transfer points on the subway line besides Secaucus. Put one at the base of the Palisades with a transfer to HBLR. If planned correctly, it could have a second entrance up high to connect with buses on Bergenline and JFK.
Also - aren't those upgrades to Grand Central already planned as a mitigation for the upzoning in that area? East Side Access will also add a lot of circulation space there, although I'm not sure it benefits the 7 riders.
