Atlantic Terminal Station Starting to Show its Face
The seemingly interminable reconstruction of the LIRR station at the Atlantic Terminal is finally revealing signs of progress.

The seemingly interminable reconstruction of the LIRR station at the Atlantic Terminal is finally revealing signs of progress. Exterior brickwork for the station, directly across the street from the Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower and attached to the Atlantic Terminal Mall, has started going up over the past month or so. While there’s never been much doubt the station will end up looking as generic as the rest of the Atlantic Terminal and Center, the construction (going strong for five years now) has made getting to the LIRR a confusing pain in the ass, and mangled street and sidewalk traffic. A press release from the MTA that came out earlier this year didn’t pinpoint when the revamp’ll finally be finished. Anyone know? We won’t be holding our breath.
Work Continues on Major Renovation Project [MTA]
Flatbushrising,
I’m sure you’re correct. But do you mean to tell me that although Raffles et al own the building and mall, the fare-payers are still stuck paying for that slower than molasses atrium entrance which will serve the mall in part?
Ridiculous.
As I always remember in Manhattan, building owners who wanted to do things with subway entrances when it was to their advantage, had to cough up some serious dough to make it happen…maybe I’m wrong.
Did FCR at least have to set aside monies in the original budget which the MTA is using for the entrance creation?
For all intents and purposes, and from the streetscape view, the entrance appears to be part of the mall.
Why am I even bothering to care? Same old story…
I spoke to a construction worker there this morning who said that they ought to be done in 6 months or so. So I’d say 9-12 months.
2:41, why don’t you stop judging and go tie your fucking balls in a knot?
I fear that any discussion will be tampered by knee-jerk reactions that sound like hired hands. So much for any type of legitimate discussion.
Wrong again, 3:45pm, as you are in every single post. I’m a homeowner. House not apartment.
RATNER…BUILD IT HIGHER!!!!!!!
Will the real racist and the real perfect saint PLEASE STAND UP?
This board, as usual has deteriorated – is there anyone out there who can converse like humans?
ANYONE?? ANYWHERE?
Let’s admit, we all have some superiority and inferiority complex going on here…so talking about RATner’s hideous complex in sweeping generalizations only makes us all look pretty poorly designed as well!!!
and I think those people were idiots who blew it.
We KNOW it’s a done deal. Snnoooooze. That debate is over.
It is becoming rather unclear who is more of an idiot on here.
It’s over? Really?
party? really?
Senior citizens being kicked out of their home of 40 years is a freakin party?
DDDB blew it? Um can you define what you even mean by this? Blew what exactly? You are sitting inside on a beautiful day telling other people they are “ghetto,” or “blew it” or things are “over.”
You are over, you blew it. You are so ghetto, you don’t even know where you stand on any issue or belief what so ever.
So GO THE F OUTSIDE. GET some sun while you can.
What does “ghetto” mean. That is such a freakishly out of touch term to use.
