The Garden was built on the site after the original Penn Station, beloved for its classical architecture, was demolished. Some architects and urban planners have called over the years for the Garden to be moved so that a more inviting station could be built. But Amtrak made clear that the arena would be staying put. The new design takes inspiration from this lost architectural gem while fitting with the major structures there currently, particularly Madison Square Garden and Moynihan Train Hall, the statement said.

They are also backing broader efforts to grow passenger rail between Denver and Grand Junction, with the ultimate goal of creating a continuous transit corridor that cuts through the historic Moffat Tunnel to link Colorado directly with Utah. While Colorado has recently made strides by passing dedicated funding for mountain rail and state-run bus systems, advocates in Utah face a steeper uphill battle.

New Rochelle pursued the downtown overlay because its traditional zoning produced fragmented, underused parcels and left the city's core underperforming. We knew we had underutilized our downtown, Salgado said. City leaders saw stalled projects, aging buildings and surface parking lots where walkable, mixed-use buildings could go instead. They wanted a predictable framework that could attract serious capital while still meeting community goals on design and affordability.

We know that not all skiers and riders at Killington started their journey at The Beast. That's why we're committed to supporting smaller local resorts through our new Community Mountain Support Fund—because having more opportunities to get on the hill is a win for everyone.

In the governor's proposed budget, $648 million is allocated for CHIPS to be divided among every town and the 62 counties in the state, while $4.5 billion is proposed for downstate transit and the New York City subway system.

The $16 billion Hudson Tunnel Project, the centerpiece of the larger Gateway Program, resumed construction this week after a tense funding battle briefly halted work last month. That pause came when federal reimbursements tied to the project were suddenly frozen, cutting off the project's cash flow. By February 6, construction had stopped and roughly 1,000 workers were laid off.

If we don't have the resumption of reimbursements ... We're going to have to actually follow our friends in the Gateway program and pursue a solution through the federal court, through the court process. MTA Chair Janno Lieber indicated the agency would pursue litigation if federal funding was not restored by the deadline.

"It's leaking thousands of gallons of water an hour and has been doing so for nearly a month," O'Shea said. "Chicago Department of Water Management has gone above and beyond their responsibility here offering their support to Robbins who, certainly initially, failed to address this."

The exact volume of the spill remains unknown as crews continue to monitor the site. Tiffen noted that a final estimate will not be available until reports are submitted to state regulators, adding that the massive volume of stormwater currently in the river makes testing for pathogens more difficult. "It's complicated by the amount of storm water and how that would affect testing regardless of a spill," Tiffen said. "Because it tends to muddy the water, so to speak."

The federal government has picked two companies to replace 612 radar systems nationwide that date back to the 1980s as part of a multibillion-dollar overhaul of the nation's air traffic control system. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and the Federal Aviation Administration said Monday that contractors RTX and Spanish firm Indra will replace the radar systems by the summer of 2028.

According to the Dec. 31 announcement, Boston will receive nearly $48 million over 15 years, Jon Chesto of The Boston Globe first reported. The funds will go toward improving infrastructure around the Charlestown neighborhood, which is expected to bear the brunt of the traffic and crowds coming to the stadium. In addition, Boston will earn $1 per soccer ticket sold and 1.5% of concert ticket sales, for an estimated $2 million a year in ticket fees.

William Smith, who lives on Tyrell, showed us a bent car rim, which he said had all been damaged by the street's potholes just in the last three weeks. He said he's also punctured two of his tires on the road. "So I drive extremely slow and cautious," he said. "Sometimes I'll choose not to leave, seriously, just because this street is so bad. I only use it when I have to. It's terrible."

A reliable measure of leadership in homebuilding and development regardless of market conditions isn't just about finding ways to do more with less, but about mastering the art of unlocking future value to overcome current bottlenecks. In the tough-sledding market backdrop of the moment, consider that skill a builder's table stakes. This fourth installment in our five-part series with Launch Development Finance Advisors Managing Principal Carter Froelich highlights one of the most effective yet often misunderstood tools available to builders, developers, and capital partners:

It's a pointless delay, and we know the reason why. It's because it's a new government and they have new priorities," he said, adding that money for new roads was now being "nicked" from public transport projects. "Public transport moves real numbers, it's what serious cities do ... if we keep taking money away from these projects and delaying them, we're just going to condemn more people to slowly losing the will to live in gridlock and missing out on time with their families.

We're giving our mayors powers to harness this and put more money into local priorities, so they can keep driving growth and investing in these communities for years to come.

Our long term goal is always going to be zero, and over these first 10 years, obviously, we haven't achieved that,

Unknown to many people, Santa Clara County - like Los Angeles and most other urban areas in California - has seen its overall water use drop in recent decades, even as population has grown. Total water use in Santa Clara County has fallen 20% since 2000, while population grew by 25% over the same time. The reason: The district has spent millions of dollars to pay people to remove lawns and replace them with water-efficient landscaping, and on rebates for low-water appliances.

Stretching over five miles from 2nd Street to Carson Street, the $65M Studebaker Road Transformation Project has officially broken ground. And with that, it is set to become one of Long Beach's most ambitious and meaningful infrastructure upgrades in decades. More than a facelift, it's a rethinking of what a major corridor can be. Safer for people. Greener for the planet. And smarter for the city's future.

My first take is that it's less transformational, it's more tinkering, he said. The federal budget, tabled Tuesday, details billions in proposed cuts and investments meant to spur growth and productivity amidst trade uncertainty and a slowing economy. It calls for about $141 billion in new spending offset by $51.2 billion in cuts, mostly to the public service and shows a deficit of roughly $78 billion for the 2025-26 fiscal year.

The Mayer Parry Bridge would connect the Leaway footpath in Canning Town with Leven Road in Poplar, with plans to build it having been in the works since at least 2021. The bridge would span the borough boundary between Tower Hamlets and Newham and is a joint project between the two councils. Tower Hamlets Council told the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) this week it had now found 4.8million to pay towards building the bridge.

The dated and bland terminal was dedicated exactly 30 years ago -- and many say that's about the best thing that can be said about it. $100 million-$150 million is the likely price tag When the terminal was built in 1995, only about 12% of Americans had mobile phones. Today, everyone travels with a smartphone, but at Westchester County Airport one has to hunt to find a spot to plug their device in.

There is still no true governing philosophy of the second Trump administration. It is, on any given day, radically libertarian or obsessively protectionist. The economy is sputtering, and Donald Trump doesn't seem to care. He's got scores to settle and vendettas to execute. And he's empowered enough sinister ideologues, from Stephen Miller to Russell Vought, to make this redux as painful as can be.

The pause affects a long-awaited plan to extend the city's Red Line train. The money was "put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing via race-based contracting," budget director Russ Vought wrote on social media. Vought made a similar announcement earlier this week involving New York, where he said $18 billion for infrastructure would be paused, including funding for a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River.

A wave of relief is crashing over Fire Island: The state just approved a $1.7 billion budget to make sure New Yorkers' favorite summer escape doesn't slip beneath the surf. The barrier island, a 32-mile-long ribbon of sand that draws more than 2 million visitors each year, has been shrinking fast. In recent winters, nor'easters chewed away so much shoreline that high tides lapped frighteningly close to houses in the Pines and Cherry Grove. For locals and weekenders alike, it felt like paradise was one storm away from being swallowed whole.

According to the Cape Cod Commission, the regional planning, economic development, and regulatory agency, the 90-year-old bridges are considered "functionally obsolete," with narrow roadways, unsafe pedestrian access, and aging infrastructure. As the only connection to the mainland, the bridges are essential infrastructure for the more than 200,000 year-round Cape residents and the 50,000 daily commuters who rely on them. The federal government owns the bridges, but under an agreement with Massachusetts officials, the state will take over operations after they are rebuilt.

Dublin Airport doesn't need it, Dublin Airport passengers won't use it - they're already well-served by buses.

Texas Gas Service (TGS) has filed for its third rate increase in a year, impacting over 230,000 customers in Austin and nearby areas.

"It's becoming a hallmark of Trump's presidency," said Bonta. "Trampling over the separation of power, sidelining a Congress led by Trump's own party, violating the Constitution and putting the American people in harm's way."

The SF Parks Alliance collapse left the Port of San Francisco responsible for $1.9 million in Crane Cove Park construction costs intended to be covered by the Alliance.
