Atlantic Terminal Station Gets Glassy
Progress on the LIRR station at the Atlantic Terminal continues to ever so slowly inch forward. As shown above, workers have started to install some of the the structure’s glass panes.

11:24, this is some generic metropolis POMO design that would have worked for a Superman comic in the mid 80’s, not an actual city with people in current day. There’s a lot of great new architecture being built in the city, and one great new building in Brooklyn. This is not it.
What if we were to treat all portals and terminals with great works of architecture?
The MTA and Ratner sleep under the same crack rock.
The MTA is one big scam. I don’t understand why no one has conducted a thorough investigation of their books. They have been defrauding New Yorkers for years. I wish some enterprising journalist out there would pick up the story.
You people are all a bunch of whining babies who will complain about anything (especially if it involves Ratner)
Ratner has NOTHING to do with the subway entrances, labrinth of tunnels or even the construction of this station. This is, was and will always be the purview of the MTA. This also includes the slow construction.
Additionally the station itself looks like it will be very nice and far better than anything thats been there in decades. For god sake what the f>ck makes you people satisfied except stuff built 100 years ago!
Has anyone checked out the sweet new “steakhouse” in Atlantic Center? That place is gonna be a DESTINATION!! Amazing that Tipsy McStagger’s failed in the same spot.
I’m no Ratner fan but I gotta agree with the 1027am poster. Having lived near this station since 1984, I can safely say that there is no end to the MTA’s complete incompetence in managing this location. I do appreciate that about 5 years ago they completed a hugely complex engineering task when the existing 2/3/4 lines had to be suspended over the pedestrian hallways beneath while the latter were renovated. But, still, phuleeze — this station has been undergoing major work for 20+ years. Can’t wait to see what happens when the residents of 6,500 new AY apartments start pouring through the entrances, passageways, and platforms of this nightmare station.
I actually don’t think the design is too bad (unlike the glass monstrosity behind it).
Don’t worry. If the yards get built, you won’t see this for 10 years because of the construction dust and after that, ’cause of the smog.
it truly is a labyrinthine station. very poor design. why does Ratner do these things to the people of Brooklyn??
