Moynihan Station is moving ahead

The replacement for the replacement for Pennsylvania Station is moving ahead, slowly. Called Moynihan Station, the plans for moving into the Old Post Office are being revived and, as the New York Times writes, it is not going to be easy to make something grand and meaningful. Among other things, the Times asks for a greater separation of MSG and Penn:

Finally, the Beaux-Arts stairs and columns on the front of the old Farley post office cannot become primarily an entrance to the Garden — or a bulletin board to hawk Garden events. This is no ordinary building. Built to complement the old Pennsylvania Station, torn down 44 years ago, the Farley is a public treasure that must be preserved. The last thing New York needs is another dreadful Pennsylvania Station that only serves developers and Madison Square Garden.
