The current Port Authority Bus Terminal, despised by commuters and ridiculed by comedians, has a date with demolition to be replaced by a gleaming state-of-the-art structure.
Port Authority officials unveiled a final scoping plan Thursday for a ground-up replacement that would include a five-story bus terminal, a close to 1 million square foot bus storage and staging building between 9th and 10th avenues, and a bigger set of ramps directly to and from the Lincoln Tunnel, to be opened between 2030 and 2031.

It s the world s busiest bus terminal, but there are no shortage of complaints about it: Its maze-like layout confuses even regular riders, with poorly lit and poorly patrolled corridors making some feel unsafe, especially at night. And forget about cleanliness, especially in the bathrooms.
The Port Authority Bus Terminal was built in 1950, before many commuters who rely on it were born (or their parents.or even their grandparents). Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton on Thursday said some of the complaints are warranted, calling the facility out of date, long overdue to be replaced.

A new system of ranked-choice voting will transform New York City’s elections, including this year s race for mayor. Now it’s about to get its first test: early voting
Instead of picking one candidate, voters
will choose up to five, ranking them in order of preference. If a candidate gets a majority of first-choice votes, they win and that’s the end of it. But if no one does, a computerized system eliminates the last-place candidate and parcels out their votes to the second choice. The process repeats itself until someone gets a majority.
