PATH capacity is about 240K and will go up to 290K once the signal project is done. I'll repeat this again...past that the PA hasn't even hinted that they have any interest in doing major construction to PATH to raise capacity (longer stations/trains). Trying to strangle commuting into NYC in order to promote companies doing business in NJ is certifiable in light of what the ESA is going to do to commuting patterns and the overall competitiveness of regions served by MNRR and LIRR who will have more and faster access to the core of the metro. |

Oh boi....where to begin.... I never said the Hoboken bound trains had any issues , I said the NEC trains can't turn around.... The Commute into the City would be a 2 seat ride which is unpopular in this region , it would also add 20-30 mins onto the journey... The PATH Capacity is 250k , will go up to 290-350k , although no one knows the actually truth and seeing how the PA lies or skews facts i'm willing to place capacity increases higher. The PA just got sued by a few people and is under a huge amount of pressure to ADA there Harrison station and Grove Street which was rebuilt in 2007 and not ADA'd. They've promised to redo both by 2020...of course they've been saying that since 2000. The PA is under alot of pressure to clean up there act ,so i do see it finally getting done. There currently replacing the walls of the Hoboken , Newport and Exchange Place PATH , and relocating the Newport substation....along with the signal upgrades... I never said to strangle commuting into NY , but if where going to prioritize our Cross Hudson Projects we should build something that should serve the whole Northeastern US , not a tiny slice of Urban Jersey. The MNRR is more competitive and better run then the LIRR , its on the same level as NJT....both systems need capacity increases and system expansions....and the Gateway would allow this.... |

I already said that Gateway should be built but it hasn't been designed and has no funding commitments other than preliminary engineering studies. The 2020 completion that is talked about is wildly optimistic, more like 2030 assuming the money can be gotten. |

Penn Station makeover is finally in the works By Andrew J. Hawkins @andyjayhawk July 2, 2012 Quote:

Yes, even flushing money down the toilets would improve the place because at least it would scour some of the filth away.

NY's major train station. A basement. If Tokyo Shinjuku station (another basement) can be made to look appealing, I'm sure this one can put on a brighter face.
The lack of development on the Monyihan station is disgusting. It SHOULD NOT take over a decade to even begin work. |

Inside the Retro-Futuristic Moynihan Station: Newest Plans Are a Throwback to the Old Post Office http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.c...3-am.png?w=600 The first phase of Moynihan Station will be limited largely to new entrances on the west side of Eighth Avenue. July 10, 2012 By Matt Chaban Quote:
http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.c...ance.jpg?w=600 The entrance on 33rd Street includes a new subway entrance. http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.c...8-am.png?w=600 Inside, everything is slick 20th Century airport chic. http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.c...onsm.jpg?w=575 The biggest changes will not be the entrances but new platforms underground and rejiggered tracks. http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.c...-am1.png?w=600 The swooping new concourse for the first phase, reminiscent of Santiago Calatrava's World Trade Center PATH station. http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.c...6-am.png?w=600 The real show stopper is the new train hall, which keeps the old Farley Post Office roof intact, a cost-saving and preservation-friendly move. http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.c...4816.jpg?w=598 This is contrary to a 2006 proposal, seen here, that would have done away with the old roof and replaced it with a soaring new one. http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.c...0-am.png?w=580 New corridors will connect riders not only to trains but retail opportunities—much of the old post office will be converted into shops, like at Washington and San Fancisco's train stations. http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.c...9-51.jpg?w=600 This is all part of a bigger plan for high speed rail, which Amtrak presented at the post office in May. A huge new station would be built for this along 30th Street. http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.c...0-am.png?w=600 This would help accommodate new bullet trains traveling up and down the Northeast Corridor. http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.c...1618.png?w=600 By Amtrak's own admission, this rollout will take not a few decades to complete. http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.c...7795.png?w=579 But the opportunities for connectivity throughout the region are big. |
:previous: Amazing. We're finally advancing in public transportation to be comparable with Europe and East Asia.

All very exciting news - I just hope they actually follow through . . .

Hmmm, I like this project but my biggest concern is if people will be able to actually pronounce "Moynihan station" lol
|
Well the distinction between Moynihan and Penn to the public will be pretty limited. I think the majority will just call it Penn which leads me to wonder about the wisdom of honor namings anyway. It's an admirable tradition but I think there are other ways that don't hamper clarity or distinction as far as the public I concerned. I'm not a fan of most of these renamings Triboro = RFK included.
