Posted by Michael549 on Thu Jun 19 10:56:44 2008, in response to Re: Keeping old South Ferry station open for the Lexington line after the 1 moves to its new station, posted by Russ on Thu Jun 19 04:23:36 2008. From a previous message: "The distance is not significant. It is less than the length of a subway platform."Actually the distance is a bit longer than a subway platform, and I do not need a measuring tape to show that. The R and W station at Whitehall Street has a 24-7-365 entrance to the station right outside of the Whitehall Ferry Terminal. Until the re-construction of the plaza in front of the ferry terminal, there was an entrance directly in front of the complex, that one had to across a small street to reach. The re-construction of the plaza in front of the building besides being used to access buses, will become a small park. Suffice it to say, that the entrance to the Whitehall Street station is in front of the Ferry Terminal. The R and W station at Whitehall Street has an weekday entrance on Stone Street and Whitehall Street. This entrance is the northern entrance to that station, and it happens to lie about 100-300 feet away from the Bowling Green entrance, and the steps to the American Indian Museum (the old Customs House building). One entrance to the R and W station is along the side of the museum building. So yes, Ferry riders going to the Bowling Green station while walking on Whitehall Street - actually happen to walk the complete distance of a subway station to reach Bowling Green. In fact when the R-N-W trains were screwed up and I had to get to Brooklyn, many times I have left that station by the northern entrance and walked to Bowling Green up and around the corner to get to Brooklyn. This is why I believe that inter-connecting the three stations should really not be a difficult task. Just a note. Mike |
