Description
Description | The project involves the redesign and reconstruction of Penn Station into a spacious, light-filled train hall without relocating Madison Square Garden. The plan includes upgrading the exterior of Madison Square Garden with a classical look, adding a new glass entrance on Eighth Avenue by removing the Theater at The Garden, raising ceilings by knocking out levels in the train hall's interior, creating new retail opportunities, and improving commuter walkways. It also aims to expand track capacity by allowing NJ Transit and Long Island Rail Road trains to through-run instead of stopping and turning around at Penn Station. |
