Had they bnot approved, the project would not have moved forward in its current form.Not entirely correct. Something along the lines of the FTC has been in the works for a long time. If somebody asked the average NYer something like: "Would you like the MTA to make the transfers at Fulton St easier to navigate?", close to 100% of those questioned would answer with a resounding YES. (me included). Most people however do not follow up on the details of the project as we do here on SubChat. They take the MTA's word that the project will make Fulton easier to navigate. After 9/11, most of the public's attention to that area has been focused mainly on the more emotional and symbolic projects of the reconstruction, mainly the 9/11 Memorial and the design of the Freedom Tower. Most NYers will never even know that the MTA even planned to build a Glass Egg. |
