Posted by michael549 on Thu Feb 7 16:22:18 2013, in response to Re: Well, this is interesting... (Re: South Ferry (1) Train Station Fix Could Take Up To 3 YEARS!!!), posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Thu Feb 7 10:21:17 2013. Look at this situation from another perspective for a moment.In 1991 the old Manhattan Ferry Terminal burned and destroyed the main waiting room, and about half of the ferry structure. Leaving riders spending a summer in tents beside the terminal, while a small temporary ferry terminal was built out of the remains of what was left standing. The first temporary terminal enclosed and used the roadway under the terminal as a waiting space requiring riders to board, and dis-embark on only the lower level of the boats. When the construction of the main level of the terminal was complte, it was quickly realized that what was basically the entrance to the old terminal had to suffice was the whole temporary terminal. Meaning that the whole waiting room area was SMALL. Add in the usual cuts in service under Mayor Dinkins, their lare restoration, and the usual G.O.s meant that travel could really suck, especially when one had to wait an hour in those spaces for a boat. Continuing in the next message. Mike |
