Name: Rafael Quinones

Comments: The sooner the new station is built the better it will be for New York.

Name: Andrew Cathcart
City: Babylon
Comments: Penn Station is vastly overcrowded and poorly laid out. The station makes commuting a lot more complicated and unpleasant that it has to be. I believe Moynihan station would relieve a lot more of the congestion.
Pedestrian traffic approaching Penn Station is out of control and The Gimbels underground walkway and the walkway that extends from 33rd st to Bryant park should be reopened.

Name: SCOTT MARTIN
City: Kew Gardens
Comments: Let us fulfill Senator Moynihan's great vision by building a world-class transit hub that will be the lynchpin of a new, dynamic, progressive and transit-oriented American society!

Name: Leonard Reinstein
City: New York
Comments: In this era of high oil prices, we desparately need a new, spacious and modern train station, and need it now. It will greatly benefit the city's economy. We are losing very precious time by not movwing forward with construction. We should demand that our city, state and federal officials act now to implement the plans for the Moynihan Station that are long overdue.

Name: Mike Mike McGarry
City: San Francisco
Comments: The demolition of the classic old Penn Station was a crime against Art comparable to the Taliban dynamiting statues of the Buddha. This project offers NYC and US a chance for redemption.

Name: Michael Miley
City: Guilford
Comments: I would like to see the new new Penn Station to be just as grand as the original one

Name: Andrew Sommerlatte
City: Wilmington, DE
Comments: The current Penn Station is a bear. It does not reflect the power and prestige that is New York. Preserve the current Moynihan building so that those who commute into the city and come in with the sun shining on the glory of the great builders of yore. Build a new gateway to replace the subterranean mess that is the current Penn Station for all those in the Northeast Corridor and beyond who want to come into the city and feel its power as the financial center of a great nation. The Romans had the Coliseum, the Egyptians the Pyramids, the Chinese dynasties their Great Wall. We can have more then a place of entertainment but, a place that shows our ability to innovate and move with one common purpose. There are so many other places that could use a multipurpose area in the five burrows. Get rid of Madison Square Garden. It is an eyesore and could be access easily by mass transit if it is placed in the right part of town. Maybe even by trains going out of the New Penn, Moynihan or Grand Central Stations. Furthermore, let this serve as a rallying cry to inspire citizens to pressure Washington to invest more money into intercity rail as a viable alternative to cars and planes for initial distances less then 750 miles. Great victories do not come from single strokes but, are the result of small advances might serve to make the victories more meaningful. March forward and let the new and old stations of New York serve as a rallying cry for a nation!

Name: Jason Krebs
City: NY
Comments: The people who are saying "no" do not offer a better plan. Nothing is worse than someone who thinks it's their job (legislators) to say "no."

City: New York
Comments: As a New Yorker and frequent train rider, I can attest that the current Penn Station is a depressing eyesore lacking beauty, dignity, and superior services; Grand Central Terminal puts it to shame. A world-class city needs a world-class transit hub. Please help New York create a train station we can be proud of.

Name: Elizabeth Glynn
City: Caldwell
Comments: If you don't want to cripple transportation into and out of the city, build the station.

Name: Richard Rabinowitz
City: Monroe Township
Comments: We need to send a strong message that there will be some form of Moynihan with or without the MSG company on board. Dolan can choose to remain apart, but that should not and will not keep the neighborhood from changing around him. If need be, we should use incrementalism to realize this great project (that is, building a little at a time, so that money is spent as it is earned); however, a big burst of construction is also nice.
