LIRR Pavilion at Atlantic Terminal, Brooklyn, N.Y.
Across the East River from Manhattan, a new rail station, constructed to its original specifications despite the recession, is bringing a civic transit presence to Brooklyn.
The Long Island Railroad Pavilion at Atlantic Terminal, completed in January, has replaced the station originally built in 1907, and connects six LIRR tracks and 10 subway lines. At $108 million, and serving 32,000 daily commuters, it is modest compared to its Manhattan sisters. But in its adherence to the original designs it stands unique.
