Earlier this month, the New York Times urged the developers to build “a station worthy of New York” and to ensure that the Farley building "becomes a truly public space, not merely the passageway for people going to events at the Garden.” We couldn’t agree more.

The Municipal Art Society will be joined by elected officials, professional associations, and leading urban planning and preservation groups, to announce its principles for the design and construction of Moynihan Station East and West.

We urge you to stand with us on the steps of the Farley Post Office building on the East Side of 8th Avenue. The full details are below.

Join us and make your voice heard.

An unprecedented alliance of leading civic and business organizations and elected officials will hold a news conference to announce principles for the design and construction of Moynihan Station East and West, the new train station that will rise on the site of Penn Station, Madison Square Garden and the current Farley Post Office building.

The group will symbolically “nail the principles to the door” by nailing them to a freestanding column. The principles – announced just prior to the public hearing for the project – contain planning, design and preservation principles that the civic and business communities believe the City, State and transit agencies should follow as they oversee the project with the real estate developers and Madison Square Garden.
