Trump Administration Proposes Renaming New York's Penn Station Amid $8 Billion Redesign
The Trump administration has proposed renaming New York's Penn Station as part of an $8 billion redesign of the transit hub. The U.S. Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, has urged leading U.S. Senators to consider the name change, although he did not specify what the new name should be. The proposal comes as the administration seeks congressional funding approval for the station's rehabilitation and other major transportation priorities. President Trump has acknowledged that the idea of renaming the station was suggested by U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, but he has distanced himself from the suggestion, stating it was not his idea. The station, originally named after the Pennsylvania Railroad, is undergoing a redesign to restore its classical style, including a stone facade and grand concourse.
