I imagine phase 2 consists of prep work to the existing station and/or demolition of certain structures/features of the current station

Bet you a million bucks it would be far more appreciated than the cold metal & glass that seems to be all the rage with rail station design these days. Not looking forward to all the delays on the red line this is going to cause due to workers needing to do whatever all summer long.Nexis4Jersey wrote:What's the status of this ?

TREnecNYP wrote:I know what it's called. As someone who grew up in CNJ, PRR & RDG territory, i must say that i prefer the classic iron/steel & wood canopy, there's just something about it that the metal & glass totally lacks.People could say the same thing about what you like, it lacks. Glass lets more light in. It's also lighter weight, requiring less support.
