Talk:Sunnyside station (New York City)

Skeleton?

New structure at 39th Street

This new structure is almost half a mile east from our pinpoint. Does that mean it isn't the new station?

I don't believe that is the new station. The station isn't even scheduled to start construction for several years. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 01:59, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Drat; you're right. I was surprized and much pleased to pedal past this place, returning from Old Westbury Gardens, and intended to return for a better photo. Might still drop by to investigate, tomorrow afternoon on my way home from Jamaica or even on the way out if there's enough time in the morning. Jim.henderson (talk) 12:57, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps you should e-mail it the MTA and ask them what it is. ----DanTD 13:30, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

That method may be effective, but it wouldn't get me tired, sore and sweaty, so on my way home from South Jamaica along the usual though unmarked Rust Street / Review Avenue water-level bike route yesterday I turned north to climb Greenpoint Avenue and another hill and investigate the paperwork posted on a signboard at the street corner. It's all about permission from NYCDoT for the construction company to block streets, bike lane (it's the most important marked east / west bikeway for LIC), sidewalks etc temporarily to aid their operations, but two of the permits mention "Metro Transit Authority" as the sponsor, which slightly raises my hope that this is indeed an eastern entrance to the station.

Nope. In the picture description I put a link to a PDA from MTA about this emergency exit and powerhouse combination. Thanks for your interest. Jim.henderson (talk) 20:55, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

That makes a lot more sense. I fixed the link on the file page, which got bollocked up for some reason. Cheers! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:58, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Location

"The station's main entrance would be at street level on the west side of the Queens Boulevard bridge"-- This location puts the station on the Penn Station route. The Grand Central East Side Access route will diverge about a half mile east of there. JoeBrennan (talk) 15:24, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

It's still supposed to be built in conjunction with the East Side Access regardless of this. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 19:02, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Sunnyside station (LIRR) → Sunnyside station (New York City) – Since this station will serve both the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad, the page name should not be representative of one of these services above the other. However, I believe that per precedence with other stations located within New York City like Pennsylvania Station (New York City) and other “Sunnyside station” articles which use the name of the city they are located in, this is a more appropriate name.

• Comment I've moved the article back to Sunnyside station (LIRR), which was the stable title, pending the result of this discussion. 162 etc. (talk) 22:27, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
• Move to Sunnyside station (New York) as first choice, Sunnyside station (New York City) as second choice - I actually think using the state in this context would be slightly more appropriate per WP:USSTATION. This would be consistent with other Metro-North and LIRR articles; I do not think we should be consistent with regard to other Sunnyside stations, but with regard to other stations in the same network. At least in this context, "New York" is not any less precise than "New York City", but I would be fine with either. Epicgenius (talk) 22:55, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
• Support, and I'm fine with "New York City" or "New York" per Epicgenius's suggestion. Either would be much cleaner than trying to cram two railroad names in the parenthetical. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:01, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

• Support I approve of a move. I'm a little worried that the article is too crystal ball, since it may never be built to serve Metro North or LIRR, but the existence of the former Sunnyside station legitimates the article in my mind. Jahaza (talk) 23:25, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
• Support per Pi.1415926535. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 01:55, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

• Support. I believe Sunnyside station (New York City) to be more appropriate for the title of this article (especially with Penn Station using Pennsylvania Station (New York City) as its title, which I feel like is more consistent. It makes the most sense overall given the station is proposed to serve both railroads. The "LIRR" designation does signify it as an LIRR-led project and likely the owner of the station facilities, but if this is the case, then simply noting the Long Island Rail Road as the station owner should suffice.
