Penn Station overhaul: Pictures of the ‘Empire State Station’ proposal

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced plans on Jan. 6, 2016 to redesign Penn Station and rechristen the transit hub as the “Empire State Station.” Describing the current station, the governor said, “It is dark, it is constrained, it is ugly, it is a lost opportunity.” The plan is part of a multi-billion dollar proposal to build roads, bridges and tunnels throughout the state.
