Photograph of the new South Ferry (subway) station…
Next month Metropolitan Transportation Authority opens a new South Ferry station directly beneath the old one, a $530 million project largely paid for with money supplied by the federal government for the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan following the Sept. 11 terror attack
The new station will be spiffy and a bit sterile (a tour for reporters on Thursday evoked comparisons to a new hospital wing). It has thousands of white tiles, two sets of tracks, two elevators, seven escalators and 96 security cameras. But best of all, it has full-length platforms. (via)
