President Donald Trump’s government wants to kick the redevelopment of Penn Station in a high gear, but the lack of puzzle pieces can thwart an accelerated plan.
Federal Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Amtrak Executive Andy Byford – The Big Apple’s Former Subway Chief Who Was Dubbed by New Yorkers As “Train Daddy” – Announced Plans on Wednesday to Start Rebuilding The Manhattan Transit Hub in Two Years, The New Years, The New Years, The New Years, reported. The construction would start by the end of 2027 under the improved timeline.
“Enough talk, we can’t wait any longer,” said Byford about the besieged ownership.
Amtrak, with the support of the Ministry of Transport, took control of the project in April when the planning adjusted to collaborate with a private developer. Last week it called on companies to be a master developer; A formal invitation must be requested by October.
The department has provided a subsidy of $ 43 million for the provisional technical work. That can be a decrease in the bucket for the project, because the Metropolitan Transportation Authority has estimated a price tag of $ 7 billion for its iteration of the redevelopment.
There is still much to see than the development team that will lead the ambitious project. One excellent issue: how much the project will cost and who will bear the financial burden. Government Kathy Hochul promised $ 1 billion for the project, but withdrew the commitment when the federal government handed control.
The last announcement is another turn in the apparently never -ending saga about the future of Penn Station. Byford has suggested that none of the existing proposals would have a lead on the incoming master developer, who told the Times authorities that the authorities held an “honest and open competition without prestimement of concepts about the outcome.”
It is crucial that a proposal that no longer seems to have legs, Amtrak’s plan is to demolish a block south of the station to make an extension of Penn Station possible. Hochul does not support that proposal.
The Trump administration has a clear interest in the transport hubs of the country and announces this week that it is planning to take control of Union Station in Washington, DC
