Ride the #7 Line to the new 34th Street / Hudson Yards Station. This afternoon, the new 34th Street Station – the extension to Number 7 Line Subway Extension is up and running after a ribbon cutting celebrating the first new station in 26 years for the NYC Subway system. The new station is a key part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project was designed with extensive outreach to and coordination with the Department of City Planning, Hudson Yards Development Corporation, NYC EDC, and the Development Community. Dattner Architects led the architectural design for this deep tunnel station, working with WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff to addresses 21st century passenger safety, comfort and convenience, as well as the technical system challenges such as egress, power and ventilation. The new station has an entrance from the new Hudson Park designed by Toshiko Mori Architects and landcape architects Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates. this MTA mega project is a critical component in the activation of the Far West Side and the development of Hudson Yards.
