It was clear: the moment for Penn Station is now. Andy Byford spoke this morning at our latest ABNY Power Breakfast about how to deliver a new, transformed Penn Station. In his role as Special Advisor to Amtrak, Byford shared the vision and progress updates on the redevelopment of North America's busiest train station.

Following his presentation, we convened a panel with Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, Riders Alliance's Betsy Plum, Sarah Kaufman of the NYU Rudin Center for Transportation, and moderated by nytimes Dana Rubinstein to discuss what New Yorkers deserve in a new Penn Station and how to galvanize the will power, resources, and collaboration needed to get it done.
