Editorial | NYC shouldn’t pay for Trump’s Penn Station overhaul
The Trump administration and U.S. Department of Transportation took control of Penn Station's redevelopment, claiming the state-led effort was insufficient. The project, estimated at $7-8 billion, faces uncertainty over funding, with concerns that transit agencies may be forced to cover costs through higher fares. The editorial argues New York should not bear financial burdens for the overhaul.
