Posted by Michael549 on Thu Jun 19 11:14:11 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 Hank Eisenstein on Thu Jun 19 10:53:45 2008. According to construction diagrams, there will be a covered kind of enclosed walkway between the entrance to the new station and the Ferry Terminal Building. Except for this walkway the train entrances are not actually a part of the terminal building, they are OUTSIDE the ferry building but I suppose it was the best that they could do. The original design for the covered walkways for a set of buses was redesigned to allow that walkway to be used as the entrance to the new subway station.In addition to an entrance in front of the Ferry Terminal, the #1 station will have additional entrances about the new plaza and platform. Now the only entrance to the #1 station is inside and alongside the Ferry terminal building Unlike the current situation where the #1 train is under a part of the Ferry Terminal Building, and the entrance is in a direct room off the terminal building. There is no need to encounter the weather at all to get to the #1 line, one is INSIDE the building. The new terminal while an improvement over the original ferry terminal design -- the South Ferry station was located under a downward curving ramps - where riders had to leave the ferry terminal building, encounter the weather, then enter the subway station. Just a note, Mike |
