NJ Transit plans new station link in NYC
Thursday, April 13, 2006

NEWARK -- NJ Transit said yesterday it would start designing a walkway from New York Penn Station to the planned Moynihan Train Station. NJ Transit, which is to be the anchor rail tenant of the new station, expects increased demand by commuters to midtown Manhattan. A concourse connecting the two stations should help pedestrian flow as rail service is increased, NJ Transit said. The project also includes extending the platforms serving tracks 1 through 4 in New York Penn Station to handle longer trains and connect them with the new concourse. The new concourse, platform extensions and related improvements to New York Penn Station should be done by 2010, NJ Transit said.
