Reply to comment by [deleted] in Ground broken on new $3.2B station that will take riders from Bronx-to-Penn Station in one ride by elizabeth-cooper

This has been planned for like 10 years. If anything the Bronx in general has got worse in the past 10 years on average.

This would have broken ground a long time ago, if East Side Access weren't 13 years late and $8B over budget.

PSA requires the track capacity at Penn that ESA frees up, and the state/MTA only has so much budget to play with.

They've been talking about this since my family and I lived in the part of Co-op City near the tracks...that would be 50 years now!
