The biggest problem with the complex will be left unsolved - transferring past the BMT without going down to the IND platform.That problem should not be underestimated. This turns the station into a labyrinth for anyone not intimately familiar with it. I would have preferred to see the 9-11 money for both the FTC and new South Ferry terminal used to build a new Nassau/Fulton station below the IND platform. Then the existing BMT station station could have been destroyed to open up the station, and make it far easier to use. Unfortunately, such a project would be so expensive that you need a once in a lifetime event to make that kind of money available. We had such an event, and what are we getting out of it? Lower priority improvements to Fulton St., and a new South Ferry terminal that was not really needed. |
