 In 2005 , the Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced plans to renovate the train station . This , along the village 's plans to revitalize the entire village of Sloatsburg , was thought to give the bland train station a more traditional look . This would include adding a roof to protect commuters and visitors from the elements , such as rain or snow , handicap @-@ accessible ramps for wheelchairs , better lighting , more seats for people to wait , and a heated shelter . ( A shelter exists , but is not heated ) . The village also wants to use a $ 50 @,@ 000 grant from the state to construct a large municipal parking lot near the station . This would get more people to use the station , as because with the lack of facilities , the station is under @-@ used . The preliminary design was made by Jeff Livingston , an architect on the Sloatsburg Revitalization Committee .
