The renewal of respect for the incredible design heritage of the subways is one of the MTA's greatest and most enduring achievements of the last 15-20 years.It is part of a larger trend in our culture favoring historic preservation (as with Grand Central), and also part of a trend that places greater value on the aesthetics of public places even where historic preservation is not the main goal, as in the new Coney Island terminal and the 1% for art movement. The extent to which it lifts the pride and spirits of New Yorkers every day is difficult to measure, but I believe it is significant, and the MTA -- so criticized for so many things -- deserves much of the credit. |
