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]
if the comments section of this thread is any indication of brownstoner readers, it appears we are ALL black!!!!
Thank you all for this fascinating debate–and now, if I may:
If this is Atlantic Terminal’s face, I would hate to see its ass.

Someone should forward this thread to Target’s Headquarters. It might be informative.
Worst. Thread. Ever.
I like how comments ceased after 6:21’s question. hee hee
The point of the original post was about how long this would take. Any insight on this would be helpful. From my perspective, it seems like they only have 2-4 construction workers working on it on any given day.
What is the best way to prod the MTA to speed this up?
so we agree
-this mall is perfect
-anyone who doesnt think so is a racist
-high sales = great store , no need to consider that dense population and little competition play a role. at all
-architecture is unimportant in large public urban spaces
