#MapMondays - 1968 East Side Access maps Today we launched our story on East Side Access (link in bio) - East Side Access is a megaproject that connects the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) to Grand Central Terminal via more than 8 miles of new tunnels and a new eight-track train terminal 150 feet below Grand Central. These maps are from the MTA’s ambitious transit expansion program in 1969 that first called for a #LongIslandRailroad terminal in East Midtown. The proposal included a new East River tunnel at 63rd Street connecting to a terminal on Third Ave and 48th Street that would be constructed with an office tower on top. The ‘69 expansion plan also included a proposal for constructing the #SecondAvenueSubway, which would have provided subway connections to the new LIRR terminal. By the end of the year, construction had started on the 63rd Street Tunnel... (More to come tomorrow!) Visit our website to read about the entire history of East Side Access, get an update the status of construction, and see recent construction photos, and an illustrated description of the concourse and tracks 150 feet below #GrandCentralTerminal. Stay tuned for more on East Side Access all week!

MTA Seeking Developers with Transit-Oriented Vision to Build off of Third Track Project Improvements Coming to Westbury and Other Main Line Communities by MTAPhotos MTA Construction & Development announced today that it has issued a request for proposals from property developers with ambition and vision to build a transit-oriented development (TOD) project on the LIRR-owned commuter parking lot on the south side of the LIRR Westbury Station. The development, which may include mixed-use multifamily residential and public open space with retail or commercial elements, would build off of the benefits introduced by the LIRR Expansion Project to add a third track to the LIRR Main Line. https://flic.kr/p/2jHeTMQ
