Came here by accident today. Missed my stop. Hadn’t given myself the time to notice the transfer mezzanine. Extraordinary! What a wasted opportunity at this stop! @mta.info

OVER THE MANHATTAN BRIDGE
The view of the sunset is golden glow over New Jersey, creating indistinguishable black silhouettes of the Statue of Liberty and container shipping cranes on the horizon - because actually, they are indistinguishable.

Everyday when you come down the steps to the QRWN train, if the train is already in the station, this is what you see inside and outside on the express. No train is identifiable.

She's right.
The US has bombed our own Black population in Tulsa and Philadelphia and Oakland. We genocided the Philippines and Cambodia, experimented on Black people without consent, forcibly relocated entire Indigenous nations, installed and enabled Pinochet.
This is NOT new. It's NOT unique. It's who we are.

NY's Empire State Development says it has not approached additional entities to step into #AtlanticYards, including Related.
New permitted developer still needed.
ESD has communicated timelines and milestone expectations to relevant parties re advancing project & liquidated damages.

Interesting. If they swap out coal plants for sustainable sources, to take advantage of existing lines & infrastructure, I’m all for it.
