The Northern Branch Corridor Project, a proposal by New Jersey Transit to extend the Hudson Bergen Light Rail for nine stops and 11 miles (18 km) northward from its current end in North Bergen to two stations in Tenafly, the last of which would be a new end near the Cresskill town line, met with different reactions. Many inhabitants and officials believed that the negative impact on the borough in terms of traffic and noise outweighed the benefits. In November 2010, voters rejected the plan to re-establish rail service to the town by a nearly 2-1 ratio in a non-binding popular vote, with all of the borough council candidates opposing the restoration of commuter train service.

In 2013, New Jersey Transit announced that the line would end in Englewood, after Tenafly officials estimated that as much in $8 million in commercial property valuation would be lost and inhabitants raised strong objections.
