And it shall be. BTW, it was posted over in the Hudson Yards thread that there could possibly be some financial assistance with building the platforms.

Hudson Yards versus No. 7 train
December 5, 2010
By Erik Engquist and Jeremy Smerd
Quote:
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn might eventually have to decide how to spend any money remaining from the project extending the No. 7 subway line. As much as $500 million may be available, which could help build a station at 10th Avenue and 42nd Street or partially finance a platform at Hudson Yards.
It's the mayor's call, but subject to council approval. The platform would likely win out, because the Hudson Yards project depends on it. It is supposed to be privately financed, but that might not be possible, given the economy.
