I’m sure they mean well but that Ukraine cookie doesn’t look very appealing. ---

There wasn’t a more elegant way to install those supports? It’s no Chambers Street in terms of grimy but this station’s ceilings are anything but “grand” and look so derelict. I’m glad all the capacity and movement issues are being addressed but I wish we could walk and chew gum at the same time. ---

Hopefully, the MTA scrapes that roof and gives it a new coat of paint or leaves it bare. ---

I saw the steel framework going up on Lex and wondered what was going on. This is a great idea. It will make exiting that part of midtown easier. ---
