The project will incorporate appropriate security infrastructure and systems, as welt as sustainable design components such as building management systems to provide for energy conservation. The WTC PATH terminal design also will allow for the future growth and integration of poten­ tial Lower Manhattan transportation enhancements such as airport rail access or commuter rail extensions.

Fulton Street Transit Center

The Fulton Street station complex will be completely rebuilt, reorganizing the existing maze of ramps, stairs and platforms into a more rational configuration in which transfers among the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J, M, and Z subway lines will be simple and easy. It will also create a new, highly visi­ ble entry pavilion at the corner of Broadway and Fulton Street, made possible by the acquisition of properties along the Broadway frontage. Rebuilding this corner will make it possible to untangle the corridors, add new and larger station entrances, and create new above- and below­ ground links to the 1/9, N/R, and E subway platforms, as well as a new PATH terminal.

The new design will help remedy the station’s currently labyrinthian condition, as explained in the previous section, and reduce the time it currently takes passengers to navigate the station. Untangling the corridors and adding new station entrances will provide improved connections among the different lines and facilitate easier passenger movement. Elements such as waiting- areas that are clean, bright and safe; clear signage; convenient retail that relates to the surround­ ing street life; and wide cir­ culation areas will ensure that the Fulton Street Transit Center is a vast improvement over existing facilities. Concerns that passengers currently have expressed around the congestion and lack of information in the station will be addressed through these improvements.
