That original design would have been beautiful. It's never too late! Maybe something along those lines can still be built.
Reminiscent of the old subway stations, such as the remaining one on Astor Place, which are far more beautiful than the totalitarian-utilitarian styles which replaced them and now announce the ugliness of the subway system through the ugliness of its entrances.
Let's have more beauty in this city.
