The civic travesty of razing the original Penn Station MUST be reversed. MSG needs to be rebuilt on the west side (NOT in the Farley P.O.) and the No 7 train extended west; tear down 2 Penn Plaza and rebuild Penn Station right where it was. It needs entrances on 7th (LIRR) and 8th (Amtrak) avenues. Turn Farley into Moynihan Station, as the new home of NJ Transit and Path. This is the busiest commuter hub in the country, it needs both stations. Amtrak owns Penn Station and wants to keep the name, which it should. An underground people mover to connect New Penn and Moynihan would be nice. I hope this gets done in my lifetime. The needs of the greedy real estate moguls at Related, Vornado, et al should not be driving this process, the citizens of NYC should.
