Several member organizations of the Friends of Moynihan Station attended the Moynihan Station Development Corporation's public hearing last night, urging the agency to continue pursuing the project and particularly "Phase One," which is to say the widening and lengthening of the West End Concourse, two new entrances into the station through the corners of the Farley Post Office building, as well as less visible catenary and emergency-ventilation work.

- Regional Plan Association focused on the tangible benefits that even just Phase One would bring
- General Contractors Association emphasized the importance of starting construction soon and creating jobs
- Municipal Art Society encouraged ESDC to think beyond Phase One
- New York Landmarks Conservancy applauded the fact that this plan preserves the building's historic integrity
- Assemblymember Richard Gottfried would have preferred that Phase One went through the City's approval process but understands that time is of the essence. He urged that Phase Two go through ULURP.
