Drat; you're right. I was surprized and much pleased to pedal past this place, returning from Old Westbury Gardens, and intended to return for a better photo. Might still drop by to investigate, tomorrow afternoon on my way home from Jamaica or even on the way out if there's enough time in the morning.

Perhaps you should e-mail it the MTA and ask them what it is. ----DanTD 13:30, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
That method may be effective, but it wouldn't get me tired, sore and sweaty, so on my way home from South Jamaica along the usual though unmarked Rust Street / Review Avenue water-level bike route yesterday I turned north to climb Greenpoint Avenue and another hill and investigate the paperwork posted on a signboard at the street corner. It's all about permission from NYCDoT for the construction company to block streets, bike lane (it's the most important marked east / west bikeway for LIC), sidewalks etc temporarily to aid their operations, but two of the permits mention "Metro Transit Authority" as the sponsor, which slightly raises my hope that this is indeed an eastern entrance to the station.
"The station's main entrance would be at street level on the west side of the Queens Boulevard bridge"-- This location puts the station on the Penn Station route. The Grand Central East Side Access route will diverge about a half mile east of there.

The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Move to
Sunnyside station (New York) as first choice,
Sunnyside station (New York City) as second choice - I actually think using the state in this context would be slightly more appropriate per
WP:USSTATION. This would be consistent with other Metro-North and LIRR articles; I do not think we should be consistent with regard to other Sunnyside stations, but with regard to other stations in the same network. At least in this context, "New York" is not any less precise than "New York City", but I would be fine with either.

Support, and I'm fine with "New York City" or "New York" per Epicgenius's suggestion. Either would be much cleaner than trying to cram two railroad names in the parenthetical.

Support I approve of a move. I'm a little worried that the article is too crystal ball, since it may never be built to serve Metro North or LIRR, but the existence of the former Sunnyside station legitimates the article in my mind.

Support. I believe
Sunnyside station (New York City) to be more appropriate for the title of this article (especially with Penn Station using
Pennsylvania Station (New York City) as its title, which I feel like is more consistent. It makes the most sense overall given the station is proposed to serve both railroads. The "LIRR" designation does signify it as an LIRR-led project and likely the owner of the station facilities, but if this is the case, then simply noting the Long Island Rail Road as the station owner should suffice.
