ripping out much of the surrounding district and replacing it with a bundle of ultratall office towersThat last nugget of news emerged from a strangely glum press conference held on Monday in the recently renovated LIRR concourse that the MTA now plans to rip out again and replace with a swoopy glass vault.
With some glossy new renderings on hand, MTA chairman Janno Lieber announced a plan to continue working on the same plan that the agency had previously announced. It also green-lit the design team it had already selected, a partnership of FXCollaborative, WSP, and John McAslan + Partners. But it didn’t take more than a question or two before the governor started hedging. “Today begins the design process,” she said.
The PAU/HOK design envisions a stone station, meant to echo, however faintly, the original colossus by McKim, Mead & White and the existing Moynihan Station across Eighth Avenue.
