New Entrance Opens at Penn Station
Better access at 31st St. and 7th Ave. should reduce crowding at other entrances, at least temporarily.
On Monday, New York City’s Penn Station travelers may find an easier route between the ticketing concourse and the street.
N.J. Transit Executive Director Richard Sarles will formally open the new gateway, located at the corner of 31st St. and 7th Ave.
The entrance is expected to reduce congestion at other Penn Station entrances. It's fully accessible and includes escalators, an elevator and stairways, in addition to new signage and electronic message boards.
The official opening of the course was scheduled for 8:15 a.m., so if you're in a rush, you might try any exit but THAT one.
