It would have two tracks and two side platforms if built. Under the last plan, there would be one street-level entrance for each direction, and no crossovers or crossunders to allow free transfer between directions. The station could be completed if funding became available to build it; it was originally part of the 7 Subway Extension but the station's construction was dropped in 2007. However, construction of the station is planned as part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project, and construction will eventually occur as demand in the area grows. As of October 2007, the city has no plans to fund the station; however, it can still be built if $550 million is raised privately to build the station.A $450 million option to build a shell for the station was included as part of the October 2007 contract, and required action by the city within nine months to have a shell built as part of the initial contract. Reports in late December 2007 indicated that the postponed station might be partially built if the City of New York and the MTA can come to terms on the additional financing for the station shell. In February 2009, the MTA announced that it would build the station if the agency received sufficient funds from the federal economic stimulus package. Developers and local residents have formed a petition to construct the shell, fearing that the opportunity to construct the station could be lost after the tunnel excavation is completed. In June 2010, the city announced it was seeking funding to assess the feasibility of constructing the station at a later date using a two-platform, two-entrance model without an underground connecting passage. This type of station, while common in Manhattan, is not considered ideal by the MTA but would nonetheless be acceptable if funding were eventually found. The planned entrances, however, would be located two blocks apart due to the location's depth: the westbound entrance on 42nd Street and the eastbound entrance on 40th Street.Construction of the line proceeded without the station shell. The only evidence of the station's planned existence is the flattening out of the tunnel walls near where the station would have been. Building the "previously deferred No. 7 station at 10th Avenue" is a "key design element" of the proposed extension of the 7 service to Secaucus, New Jersey.. }
