Join us for a tour of Moynihan Train Hall, followed by drinks and discussion on new plans for the surrounding neighborhood.
Penn Station is the heart of our region and the busiest train hub in the country. New investments in recent years, like the Moynihan Train Hall, have enabled incremental station improvements to support explosive growth in the Tri-state area. Retrofitting the station to accommodate new commuters and repair aging infrastructure may rely on new public investments and broader redevelopment of the surrounding neighborhood.
First, we will tour Moynihan Train Hall, recent station improvements at Penn Station, and the surrounding streetscape. Following the tour, we will convene a discussion on the new Hochul administration vision to redevelop the broader neighborhood with new office space, affordable housing, open space and pedestrian infrastructure. How should New York City leverage new neighborhood development to deliver greater investments in clean transit, streetscape transformation, and open space?
