Helena E. Williams, at podium, president, MTA Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), addresses ceremonies Oct. 23 to rededicate LIRR’s Jamaica Station on its 100th birthday. Ten of the commuter railroad’s 11 branches serve the station, used by 150,000 commuters each day. Thomas F. Prendergast, chairman and chief executive officer, New York MTA, told the audience at the event: “As the Long Island Rail Road looks to the future, Jamaica Station will remain its nerve center and our Jamaica Capacity Improvements Project will mean more than $300 million in infrastructure upgrades to keep the LIRR running smoothly.” Refurbishment efforts included restoring terrazzo floors, installing brighter lighting, adding customer seating, and restoring exterior brick and terra cotta.
