Kathy Hochul's commitment to revamp Pennsylvania Station has not progressed in nearly two years, with renovation plans effectively stalled. While proposals from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and a private developer have failed to gain momentum, a new suggestion has emerged: relocating Madison Square Garden to facilitate a larger train hall and park. This comes at a critical time, given the initiation of a $16 billion rail project aimed at increasing cross-Hudson capacity. The ongoing delays create urgency for enhancing the station and resolving commuter issues at one of the busiest transit hubs in the nation.
Nearly two years after New York's governor, Kathy Hochul, vowed to fast-track the long-overdue redesign of Pennsylvania Station, little has changed for the Manhattan transit hub.
Now, an influential interest group is proposing a different approach: Move Madison Square Garden across the street and replace it with a much bigger train hall and a park.
