THE EXTENSION OF THE 7 LINE: REZONING, AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AT HUDSON YARDS
Lecture location: North East Balcony, Grand Central Terminal
Shawn Kildare, vice president and program executive, MTA Capital Construction, and Sandy Hornick, deputy executive director, New York City Department of City Planning discuss the MTA's plan to extend the 7 line westward and the intended transformation of Hudson Yards into a mixed-use neighborhood. Perceived as vital to the city's long-term economic growth, the project aims to support the development of housing, office space, commercial and cultural venues, plus parks and open spaces.

The Transit Museum is pleased to present a special series of discussions, moderated by Alex Marshall, Senior Fellow at the Regional Plan Association, at Grand Central Terminal in connection with the exhibit The Future Beneath Us, on display in the Museum's Grand Central Gallery Annex from February 15 through July 5. Key engineers, architects, and urban planners involved in MTA Capital Construction's current mega-projects will explore issues of scope, sustainability, technology and impact.
