Penn Station Redevelopment
In anticipation of a joint solicitation of proposals for redevelopment of the James A. Farley Building and Penn Station, a study was conducted to determine whether (as some observers have suggested) significant transportation improvements will require complete demolition of the existing station, Madison Square Garden, and 2 Penn Plaza, and the construction of an entirely new station complex.
Through a series of interviews and in-depth analysis of the internal and external area in and around Penn Station, an alternative approach was recommended, in which a series of incremental improvements - such as new and reconfigured entrances and passageways - could relieve congestion and improve traffic flow at a fraction of the cost of rebuilding the complex.
