The construction of Moynihan Station is the single most critical civic project planned for New York City this decade. Penn Station, this country’s busiest transportation center, is overcapacity and inefficient. A modern, state-of-the-art train station would revitalize the surrounding district and be the most effective catalyst for development on the Far West Side of Manhattan. What will it take to fully realize Senator Moynihan’s vision?

Panelists include: Kent Barwick, president, Municipal Art Society; Richard Ravitch, principal, Ravitch Rice & Company LLC; Richard L. Brodsky, assemblyman, New York State Assembly; and Anna Hayes Levin, chair, Community Board 4. Moderator: Charles Bagli, reporter, The New York Times.
