NYC booming and this forum is on the downhill, quite ironique! More interesting projects going on now than anytime when I used to post here in the day.

Right, the meat packing district needs a stop. That would be a good idea.

Yeah, agreed. Amtrak accounts for very few of the pax. Most will need to go through the current rat hole.

you could put msg where javitz is if they build a convention center in sunny side.

MSG should move ASAP, before we're all white beards.

REBUILD THIS TOWER NOW! :eek:

Times square needs something like this to make it more than just a giant ad.

This project is the only one i'm following right now.

This tower is the best project in NY right now from a serious architectural design standpoint, hardly lame.

Those terminals were awful, especially 8. They were demolished for good reason and were falling apart. They were also not suitable for post 9/11 travel and were cramped facilities. They could have...

An airtrain will eventually link the airport to Shea stadium/Transit.

The airport looks pretty good. The design is fine, nothing amazing, but modern and sleek. I'm glad Delta is not keeping their...

Hi New Yorkers, your new airport terminal has arrived and it looks pretty good!

The old terminals with the great sheds, like you see in the old grand central and the exchange place (NJ) are the most impressive style of station IMO. You see these today in Europe. Unfortunately,...

The whole area is an eyesore.. Perhaps the new towers will make it appear almost decent.

No, this idea is a pipe dream. No money for such grandiose schemes and no political will. Expanding LGA would mean a lot more noise and pollution over some of the most densely populated areas of...

Yes, the observation tower in Pudong is rather tacky and dated compared to the stylish new curvy supertalls. However, I think it has a retro-futuristic charm and fits in well with the futuristic...

About time it improved. It's a tough thing to fix given how old the airport is and how small a piece of land it sits on, but the new terminal will make it respectable and a great design will make it...

I'm not hugely enthused by the design, it seems rather plain. I hope 220PAS is a more interesting take on a classic tower.

This tower doesn't suck at all. It is a very nice design and high quality.

According to someone on SSC called RobertWalpole, this is only a massing model. He has insider information apparently that the design is not yet final.

Oh yeah, and I agree with all the vitriol...

I have to say that I prefer more detailed and avant-garde styles although I can appreciate a certain amount of minimalism, but since we are all philistines with no vision, maybe you can enlighten on...

I agree that option 7 would be the best option if they somehow won the fight to add fill to the bay.

JFK. Page 150 of the report explains this, about how 1 additional runway would cause a reduction at LGA and that two runways would be needed to make up for this deficit
...

Gare Monteparnasse, another crime like Penn Station. Luckily Paris still had a bucket load of fine stations to enjoy.

I read somewhere today that Gunn, the former head of Amtrak, didn't like the Farley plan because it will cause Amtrak passengers to have to walk much further to get to trains from the subway than...

If it becomes a big enough draw, I'm sure they'll find a way to put in a light rail connection in the future.

Too drastic. I think the area needs this attraction.
