Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Madison Square Garden would be allowed to sit atop Penn Station for another 10 years under a proposal laid out by city officials on Monday.
DCP Director Dan Garodnick told reporters the proposed permit extension would require Dolan to work with the MTA once the plans for Penn Station’s reconstruction are 30% complete, a milestone he said would be reached in one or two years. DCP documents also show the proposal would require the Garden to install new signs on the venue’s Eighth Avenue entrance that “inspire a sense of civic pride that enhances a sense of place by incorporating significant design features.”
Layla Law-Gisko, chair of the land use committee on Manhattan’s Community Board 5, said the venue should have only been given a three-year permit.
