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.

Hmm- I usually agree wholeheartedly with those who decry new structures in BK as ugly and out of context. But somehow this one doesn’t upset me in the least- it has (at lest from what I can tell from the rendering) a rather pleasant 1930’s Deco train terminal look to it.
Agreed, though, that this project is moving at such a glacial pace as to be somewhat suspicious.
I’d like to see a futuristic shot of the corner of Atlantic ave going towards Pathmark.
Third class fugly assed crap.
but why, why, why does it all have to be so ugly? It’s so enervating – this and all the terrible new development on 4th avenue really piss me off.
Think, people! Why on earth would Ratner not have done this entrance at the same time as the rest of the building if it were within his scope, thus obviating the additional costs of a come-back operation? Could it be that the MTA hasn’t been able to get its act together until now, that the responsibility for creating the entrance was always theirs and that the current entrance builders are contracted directly to the MTA? I’ve got $100 that says that is precisely the case.
Am I the only one who thinks that the slow progress and unbelievably labyrinthine subway access it creates are deliberate on the part of Ratner?
Maybe he just wants to get the neighborhood back for daring to oppose his will?
Lipstick on a pig.
If it takes this long for the terminal, how long will it truly take for AY?
This has been the slowest construction I’ve seen in life. It’s not like building a new subway system, it’s only a station. I don’t want to suggest five years, but that’s probably how long it will take to finally see the new facade.
