Fucking Finally Ferrous Thu Jan 7 10:36:02 2016 No.131208

NY Governor Cuomo announces $3 billion plan to redevelop Penn Station and the Farley Post Office, with groundbreaking slated for later this year. The two together will form the Empire Station Complex. Details here (link was too long for the link field):

Madison Square Garden will stay for now, but it sounds like the station will be majorly reworked. This announcement comes one day after Cuomo announced plans for a third track on the LIRR Main Line between Floral Park and Hicksville.

>3 billion dollaros
>for a headhouse
>still no natural light at platform level
Is the thing going to be built out of gold or something? Also did none of the architects who design this thing study the original station design? The modern station is terrible partly due to the fact that most of the complex is an underground mall with no natural light.

>no Gateway
>platform level remains a 21-track unorganized clusterfuck
Fucking When do they start addressing the real issues at hand? No boarding experience or throughput capacity is going to be significantly improved if tracks and interlockings are rationalized and platforms are combined and widened.

>If Gateway is ever built — and it remains a huge “if”
So tell me where the Gateway funding is magically coming from. Tell me why Cuomo didn't tie it in with PPP initiatives.
