Yes, the LIRR concourse will not be remodeled in any proposal here. The concourse physically is under 33rd street.
In addition some of the justification for starting with the LIRR concourse was so that there would be added circulation capacity when the main portion of the station closes.
Both leading proposals will remove most of the upper level, and greatly expand the lower level of the station. In the end the majority of Penn station will be on the same level of the present LIRR concourse.
