In his annual State of the State address on January 3, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo reaffirmed his commitment to a large-scale renovation of Manhattan’s Pennsylvania Station.

Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the project aims to alleviate congestion at Pennsylvania Station.

Architect and planner Vishaan Chakrabarti and his firm Practice for Architecture and Urbanism have unveiled a scheme addressing problems with New York City's Penn Station.

Two of New York City’s most overburdened transportation facilities— Pennsylvania Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal, which together serve nearly a million passengers a day —could be dramatically upgraded or replaced if proposals developed by architectsand recently made public are adopted.
