It makes you wonder who actually "plans" these things. If you lived in the NY area, and are old enough, you may remember the NY Coliseum. It was the place for car shows, boat shows and conventions. It was accessible by several subway routes. It was replaced by the Javits center which, as Tommy points out, was nowhere and was accessible only by car. Now politicians have finally noticed you can't get there from here so they need a few tens of millions to extend, what might already be an inadequate line. Years ago I rode the 7 train to work from Flushing to 42nd St, it was poor then I can only image how crowded it must be now.
