NEW YORK, NY March 28, 2008 —The late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan wanted to create a new train station out of the James A. Farley Post Office on Eighth Avenue and 33rd Street, across the street from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden.

The plan recently mushroomed into a much larger one that involved moving the Garden and redoing Penn Station where it is.

Yesterday, the Garden said it didn't want to move and would instead renovate its current building.

Here to make sense of the change is Kent Barwick, president of the Municipal Art Society.
