Virtual Public Scoping

for the Western Rail Yard Infrastructure Project

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is preparing an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for the Western Rail Yard Infrastructure project in 

compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and other

applicable environmental laws. WRY Tenant LLC and Amtrak are partnering to 

apply for Federal financial assistance for the construction of a Platform and 

Tunnel Encasement at the Western Rail Yard site, located between West 30th 

and West 33rd Streets and Eleventh and Twelfth Avenues in Manhattan. The 

purpose of the project is to cover and protect the active railroad tracks and 

LIRR support facilities in the Western Rail Yard that house critical railroad 

infrastructure; to preserve a right-of-way through the Western Rail Yard to 

support the future construction of a trans-Hudson passenger rail crossing into 

New York Penn Station; and to provide additional new capacity for real estate 

development. The proposed project is subject to Section 106 of the National 

Historic Preservation Act. Individuals and organizations may request to 

participate as a Consulting Party for this undertaking. 
2

Due to the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health 

emergency, and consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention’s guidance regarding large events and mass gatherings, FRA will 

conduct a virtual public scoping for the Project. 

Starting July 1, the public will be able to visit the project website at www. 

westernrailyardinfrastructure.com to view a presentation describing the project 

and to submit comments. FRA invites the public and all interested parties to 

comment on the scope of the EIS during a 30-day scoping comment period 

from July 1 through July 31, 2020. 

You can comment by filling out a comment form accessible via the Project’s 

website and using the comment link provided, or at Regulations.gov, Docket 

Number: FRA-2020-0039. You can also send written comments by mail to the 

following address: Western Rail Yard Infrastructure Project, c/o Fitzgerald & 

Halliday, Inc., 416 Asylum Street, Hartford, CT 06103. All comments will also 

be placed on file at Regulations.gov.

Querida Sra. Migene:

Motivado por sus cálidas palabras

y sabios consejos me animo a dirigirme a usted con la esperanza de

que me ayude a resolver mi problema. Debido a un disgusto que

pasé en mi trabajo, me regresé a

mi casa muy alterado y es así que

hoy me encuentro desempleado.

Debido a mi avanzada edad será

muy difícil para mí conseguir otro

empleo. Mi única esperanza es recuperar mi antigua posición. Por

favor ayúdenme a lograrlo. Le estaré eternamente agradecido.

H.F. del Bronx.

Querido H.F.:

Corta 8 limones verdes por la

mitad, les pones sal de mar a cada

es un excelente despojo contra la

mala suerte. Luego hierve damiana, hisopo, manzanilla, cáscara

de mavi y una cucharada de arroz

blanco en agua. Cuela el baño y le

añades cerveza y miel. Te echas el

baño por los hombros y te das una

ducha con un jabón del dinero.

Date 7 de estos baños. Después

de cada baño enciende una vela

de la abundancia. El último día inscribe el nombre de tu antiguo jefe

en un jabón de los ángeles y lo

metes en una fuente con miel,

melao de caña, miel rosada, bálsamo tranquilo y 7 piedras de dinerito. Al frente enciende la vela del

arcángel Sadkiel que rige los negocios. Cuando se termine la vela

llama a tu jefe, te excusas y te va a

dar tu trabajo de nuevo.

Querida Sra. Migene: 

Le expreso mi gran agradecimiento

por toda la ayuda que nos brinda a

través de su famosa columna. Le

escribo para pedirle ayuda para mi

hijo de 18 años. Él está muy deprimido porque su padre ha sido sentenciado a 5 años de prisión por

abusar de una menor. Mi hijo es

muy religioso, estudia teología y

hace varios días que no come y

dice que desea morirse. Temo por

su salud y por su vida. Por favor

ayúdelo. Dígame qué hacer. Madre

Querida Madre Desesperada:

El trauma que ha recibido tu hijo ha

sido muy grande, sobre todo porque es tan religioso. Pero su

misma fe le va a dar la fuerza para

sobreponerse a su dolor. Parte un

coco por la mitad y lo vacías. Pon

una mitad sobre una copa con

agua de mar, agua de los ángeles

y agua bendita. Debajo pones un

papel con el nombre de tu hijo.

Adentro del coco pones agua sedativa, agua azahar, agua maravilla, manteca de cacao, alcanfor,

alumbre y azúcar. Tápalo con la

otra mitad y rodea la copa con un

círculo de cascarilla y 9 piedras de

la luna. Al frente enciende la vela

del arcángel Gabriel que rige la

mente y le pides que tranquilice a

tu hijo y le de paz y resignación.

Cuando se termine la vela amarra

el coco con una cinta blanca y lo

envuelves en algodón. Ponlo en un

lugar alto. Mete las piedras de la

luna debajo del colchón de la cama

de tu hijo.

Queridos amigos y amigas:

Saludos cariñosos a todos como

siempre. Gracias a todos los que

se unieron en oración conmigo el

domingo de ramos para pedirle al

Arcángel Miguel que intercediera

por nosotros ante Dios para la

destrucción del corona virus. Les

dije que rezaran el salmo 136 al

hacer la petición. Continúen haciendo este salmo los domingos a

las 10PM con una vela blanca pidiendo la intercesión de Miguel

ante Dios por nosotros y el mundo

entero. Para escribir a esta columna dirijan sus cartas a Nirvana

of New York, 828 9th Avenue,

New York, New York 10019. Pueden ordenar lo que necesiten por

correo llamando al (212)247-3733

o (212)489-9457. Pueden hacer

sus entrevistas conmigo por teléfono llamando a los mismos números. A continuación, las cartas

de la semana.

Con el cariño de siempre,

Migene González-Wippler

Los números de la semana según 

los signos donde va a estar la luna

son 8479 más 1 porque la luna 

empezó creciente y 0 porque 

terminó menguante.

De mí

La columna de los consejos,

el amor, la suerte y el dinero

Por Migene González-Wippler

Para ti

uno y te frotas bien con ellos. Este Desesperada de New Jersey.

didates, their campaigns and 

what Pride means to them: 

Phelan Dante Fitzpatrick 

Manhattan’s District 3, representing Greenwich Village, 

Chelsea and Hell’s Kitchen, 

has a long history of electing 

LGBT candidates, including 

current incumbent and Council Speaker Corey Johnson – 

but never has the district 

elected a person of color to 

the seat. Phelan Dante Fitzpatrick could be that first, if 

elected. 

“I think if you have diversity in representation then 

everyone gets taken care of,” 

said Fitzpatrick, a small business owner who launched his 

campaign to help other mom 

and pop shops get the relief 

and attention he feels they’ve 

been deprived of under the 

current representative. 

Fitzpatrick came to New 

York City in the wake of personal tragedy. The day before 

Fitzpatrick turned 19, his father, an openly gay Black man, 

was shot and killed outside a 

gay bar in Akron, Ohio. The 

police never solved the case. 

“When my father was murdered in my first year of college, and I never got to finish, 

so I came to the city and I 

tried to have a better life,” 

said Fitzpatrick. “I wanted to 

do everything that I ever 

wanted to do without feeling 

that I couldn’t – and New York 

City was always that place for 

me ever since I remember 

being here for the first time.” 

On top of securing resources for small businesses, 

Fitzpatrick is particularly motivated in making Manhattan 

a safe place for young LGBTQ 

people to grow up and build a 

life. One priority is ensuring 

there’s an inclusive curriculum in public schools that 

teaches accurate information 

about the queer community 

and its history in the city, Fitzpatrick said. 

“We need to make sure our 

public schools have policies 

that really aren’t violating the 

rights of students and that are 

sensitive and supportive 

when it comes to dress codes, 

self-expression, identities, 

pronouns,” said Fitzpatrick. 

“Making sure that public 

schools that receive local and 

state funding are enacting 

policies that provide LGBTQ, 

transgender, non-binary students equal access to school 

facilities and activities, period.” 

To commemorate Pride 

this year, Fitzpatrick is taking 

his four-year-old daughter 

and some of her friends on a 

bit of walking tour to teach 

them some of the history of 

the LGBTQ rights movement, 

“We’re going to talk about 

the history of Stonewall – in 

the best way we can so four 

year olds can understand.” 

Jeffrey Omura 

Jeffrey Omura plans to 

bring the arts back in New 

York City and plans to be the 

first openly gay person to be 

elected to City Council in District 6 on the Upper West Side. 

Omura first got his start in 

New York City as an actor in 

a production of Romeo and 

Juliet at Shakespeare in the 

Park. He instantly fell in love 

with the Upper West Side and 

its sense of culture and continued to work as an actor for 

the next 15 years. 

However, it wasn’t until 

Omura began acting at The 

Public Theater that he found 

his political footing in the city. 

He found out that he and his 

fellow actors in the theater 

community were going broke 

doing the thing that they 

loved. So, they created an organization called Fair Wage 

OnStage. They organized the 

entire Off-Broadway theater 

community to sign petitions, 

wear buttons, and record 

video testimonies for social 

media talking about the sacrifices that they had made. 

“Our industry had never 

really seen anything like it before. The campaign gave our 

union, Actors Equity Association, leverage at the negotiation 

table to demand some wage increases,” said Omura. “That
