Fifty years ago, the original Penn Station was demolished in a short-sighted plan that is now considered a civic disaster. Today, I am dedicated to preventing another such mishigas. Responding to the clamor to do something, the cadre of the business-as-usual permanent government got to work.  As could be expected, they produced a plan that squanders billions but expends little imagination in their creation of a soul-crushing, fifties-style urban development.

At ReThinkPennStationNYC, we have spent countless hours studying the issues surrounding Penn Station. Our plan is different. We refuse to destroy a neighborhood. Our solution includes through-running, essential for efficient train travel in the modern era.

We want to rectify the misguided mistake of the past and construct a new, above-ground, sunlit Penn Station. This new station will be modeled after the classic Penn Station but updated for 21st-century travel needs.

I invite you to join us in supporting our vision.

Sam Turvey, Chairperson, ReThinkPennStationNYC
