Article: Proposal Would Relocate Arts Center to Transit Hub

Below Union Station in DC

Today, The New York Times ran an article about moving the proposed performance space from the as of yet still unbuilt World Trade Center Plaza to the proposed transportation hub at Fulton Street and Broadway. I just have to wonder if the people who propose these things have ever ridden mass transit? The last time I went into the City I took the Long Island Rail Road and arrived just as a Nicks game was letting out of Madison Square Garden: Penn Station was a Nightmare. I felt like a salmon swimming upstream just to get out of the system. I can’t imagine someone trying to get on a train or worse, enter the subway there.

I remember a recent afternoon at Metro Center before some sort of major soccer event at RFK, and watching people pour into the escalators in the opposite direction from the one I was traveling in. It was fascinating and somewhat terrifying.
