  • A Retrospective of Preservation Practice and the New York City Subway System
    Under the Big Apple: a Retrospective of Preservation Practice and the New York City Subway System by Emma Marie Waterloo This thesis/dissertation document has been electronically approved by the following individuals: Tomlan,Michael Andrew (Chairperson) Chusid,Jeffrey M. (Minor Member) UNDER THE BIG APPLE: A RETROSPECTIVE OF PRESERVATION PRACTICE AND THE NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY SYSTEM A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Emma Marie Waterloo August 2010 © 2010 Emma Marie Waterloo ABSTRACT The New York City Subway system is one of the most iconic, most extensive, and most influential train networks in America. In operation for over 100 years, this engineering marvel dictated development patterns in upper Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. The interior station designs of the different lines chronicle the changing architectural fashion of the aboveground world from the turn of the century through the 1940s. Many prominent architects have designed the stations over the years, including the earliest stations by Heins and LaFarge. However, the conversation about preservation surrounding the historic resource has only begun in earnest in the past twenty years. It is the system’s very heritage that creates its preservation controversies. After World War II, the rapid transit system suffered from several decades of neglect and deferred maintenance as ridership fell and violent crime rose. At the height of the subway’s degradation in 1979, the decision to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the opening of the subway with a local landmark designation was unusual.

  • MTA Metro-North Railroad Penn Station Access Project
    Penn Station Access Project: Environmental Assessment and Section 4(f) Evaluation Executive Summary ES.1 INTRODUCTION The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is proposing the Penn Station Access (PSA) Project, which would provide one-seat passenger rail service to Penn Station New York (PSNY) on Manhattan’s west side for MTA Metro-North Railroad’s (Metro-North) New Haven Line (NHL) customers (Proposed Project). MTA Construction and Development (MTACD) would plan, design, and construct the Proposed Project and related public outreach, and Metro-North would operate and maintain the service. The Proposed Project would provide new rail service from New Haven, Connecticut (CT) to PSNY in Manhattan by utilizing Amtrak’s Hell Gate Line (HGL) on the Northeast Corridor (NEC), through the eastern Bronx and western Queens. The Proposed Project would make infrastructure improvements on the HGL beginning in southeastern Westchester County—where NHL trains would divert onto the HGL at Shell Interlocking1—and extending to Harold Interlocking in Queens, joining the MTA Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) Main line. As part of the Proposed Project, four new Metro-North stations would be constructed in the eastern Bronx at Hunts Point, Parkchester- Van Nest, Morris Park, and Co-op City. Figure ES-1 depicts the Proposed Project’s construction area and service area, and shows the relationship between the HGL, Metro-North, and LIRR systems. The proposed Metro-North service to PSNY would begin operations after the LIRR East Side Access (ESA) project’s service to Grand Central Terminal is initiated. The Amended Full Funding Grant Agreement (August 2016) between MTA and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) projects ESA service to begin December 2023.
