Only eight years after construction project began and 13 years since the design was selected, the new Atlantic Terminal officially opened yesterday. The $108 million design for the transportation hub (10 subways and five bus lines connect through it), constructed of limestone, granite and glass, features a 60-foot high atrium as its centerpiece. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Beep Marty Markowitz and Council Member Tish James joined MTA Chairman Jay Walder and LIRR President Helena Williams.
