The proposal from Alexandros Washburn calls for replacing Madison Square Garden with a reimagined Penn Station.

Expanding the train station, the busiest in the nation, is a pressing issue because construction has just begun on a $16 billion pair of rail tunnels under the Hudson River, the centerpieces of a project known as Gateway, which would double the current cross-Hudson capacity.

With no movement on plans to redesign and renovate Penn Station, a public interest group is suggesting moving Madison Square Garden across the street and replacing it with a much bigger train station and park.

A bold new plan is reimagining Penn Station, but it hinges on one major change—moving Madison Square Garden across the street to the former Penn Hotel site. The Grand Penn Community Alliance, led by Chief Architect Alex Washburn,

"Grand Penn" features a public space the size of Bryant Park, a train hall inspired by the original Penn Station, and the relocation of MSG across the street.
