How to Transform Penn Station: Move the Garden
It is encouraging that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has championed Penn Station’s cause, but he’s passed on the really big idea: moving Madison Square Garden.Stop thinking small.
Put The Garden just to the north and pay for it with state bonds.
Stop trying to monetize the transportation nexus.
Build the shuttle to Grand Central.
Build the freight tunnel to Brooklyn.
Build the additional tubes across the Hudson.
Move the capital of New Jersey to Newark.
