The meeting was held two days before the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Board of Directors was to discuss demolishing the structure.MTA Executive Director, John Simpson, at the Board meeting December 14 voiced doubts about tearing down the building at Flatbush and Atlantic Aves. without funds in hand to build another one.

The MTA Board is scheduled to vote on the matter at their January 17 meeting.Bill Novak, co-chairman of the Coalition to Save the LIRR Terminal said that he was pleased with at least some movement toward his group%u2019s position. %u201c The Board is realizing that there is an issue and a constituency to have the structure restored,%u2019%u2019 he said. Novak said that between now and January 17 members of the Coalition would be talking to other MTA Board members and Borough President Howard Golden, who has said that he is opposed to saving the Terminal.%u2014IVSFulton Buses Sent BackFulton Street buses scuttled back to Livingston Street again last Saturday after a seven hour attempt to put the Eastbound buses back on Fulton.

The owner of the site, Rudy Saracco, and the architect, George Schwartz, presented their plans to the committee at the meeting.Howard Zimmerman, subcommittee chairman, reports that the penthouse which is planned for the roof of the buildings will be set back 17 feet, so that it will not be visible from the street except for a glimpse of the addition from the side, while the restoration of the front facade and extension of the rear will not create any problems in appearance.
