Description

Description

A long-delayed project to rebuild North America’s busiest train station, Penn Station in Manhattan, New York. The station is a critical transit hub used by about 600,000 people daily but is dark, overcrowded, and often experiences train delays. Despite political pledges spanning over 25 years and multiple administrations, progress has been hindered by political rivalry, infighting among transit agencies, and conflicting priorities among city, state, federal government, and private developers.
