Love the top.
WOW! Phenomenal, I hope to see this built one day. And that aerial view reminds me of the Transbay Terminal in San Francisco.

I was going to say, the rooftop park is a very similar approach to Transbay/Salesforce Terminal in SF. I havenât been up to Salesforce park but my friends who work downtown say the park is largely populated by office workers from the towers connected by bridges, as opposed to people ascending three stories from the street. Whether this PA terminal park gets any use may depend on what itâs connected to, and how. Does anyone know where those green footbridges in the second and fifth images lead?

Isnât this close enough to be connected to the highline? At least through the Manhattan West developments.
They appear to be the extension of Hudson blvd/Abzug park. Extends north to 42nd st in the 5th pic.
Looks really great.

I like this. Elements of it remind me of the design language for one of the proposals for MSG recladding. It also opened up on the 8th Ave side to allow more movement from street level to train platform.

I would prefer they built skyscrapers over the top of it. This is a skyscraper dead zone and needs to be fixed. The park on top is too similar to the High Line.

Yeah that might be cool. Though none of the proposals seem to be that so I donât think thatâs happening.
I donât see a problem with it being similar to the highline.

Governor Cuomo last year announced a plan to sell air rights above the bus terminal to pay for the renovation. How does a park over the top pay for it?
Iâd much rather have a park. The air rights could be transferred to other nearby sites. The day will come that this new terminal becomes obsolete and getting rid of it with a 1,000â tower upon it wonât be feasible.

And how does selling air right above the terminal translate to a tower over the site? Transferring air rights is extremely common in NYC.
The park doesnât pay for anything â the air rights pay for the terminal, which includes the park.

I agree Robert. Thatâs exactly the problem weâve run into with Penn Station. Sell the air rights to adjacent properties but keep the park.

I myself really liked yesterdayâs proposal.
I would have a very large proposal with Twin Towers of a height up to 2150 ft without spire.
Or just a terraced low building with lots of green space.

is too high, I have a third idea that looks nicer. But not on the computer only on paper.

3000 is not too tall. New York needs the worldâs tallest building again.
