New York is now entering its fifth week since coronavirus vaccinations began. But the effort has been rife with complications.
Medical providers, unable to find patients who met the state’s vaccination guidelines, have reported throwing away doses. A more transmissible variant of the virus has been found in the state. Local officials, like Mayor Bill de Blasio, have said the rollout has been slow because of their inability to distribute vaccine more quickly to groups outside of the groups the state designated. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has pointed the finger at poor execution from hospital management, among other problems.
NEW YORK (WABC) The High Line will be extended to connect to the newly opened Moynihan Train Hall, providing an alternate way to access Amtrak and LIRR, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Monday as part of his State of the State address.
The proposal will extend the High Line to create new public space and ease foot traffic in the area.
As part of a public-private partnership, Brookfield Property Group will partner with Empire State Development, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and Friends of the High Line to build an L-shaped connection from the 10th Avenue terminus of the High Line to Brookfield s Manhattan West public space.
Cuomo wants to add a second leg to the attraction, extending the structure east along 30th Street and north along a space between Ninth and Tenth avenues, terminating directly across the street from the western entrance to the new $1.6 billion train hall, which debuted on Jan. 1 as an extension of Penn Station for Amtrak and some Long Island Rail Road riders.
