The Friends of Moynihan Station urge Madison Square Garden, the City and the State, to return to the negotiating table and continue discussions.

Moynihan Station is the most important transit and economic development project of this generation. It will provide jobs in a time of economic uncertainty, build a great transit facility on both sides of Eighth Avenue for the half-million people who endure Penn Station every day, and stimulate the growth of the West Side into a major business district.

A new train hall must be built in the Farley building as Senator Moynihan envisioned. But the most significant transportation and economic benefits of the broader project can be realized only if the Garden is relocated.
