• Fulton Street Another function of Fulton Street is that it will connect West Street with Water Street, com­ pleting the loop and providing Lower Manhattan with an east-west main street. A redeveloped Fulton Street will transform downtown dramatically. Anchored by the World Financial Center Ferry Terminal at the Hudson River on the west and the South Street Seaport and a ferry stop on the East River on the east, Fulton Street will become the only major east-west retail corridor in Lower Manhattan. With a new MTA transit center at Broadway, a new PATH terminal, and potential new rail services, Fulton Street is also the daily arrival and departure place for tens of thousands of workers, residents and visitors. Fulton Street could be vehicular or pedestrian as it runs through the WTC site, and include east-west, transit service such as a shuttle bus. East of Broadway, it is the central street for a growing residential neighborhood center along the Fulton and John Street corridor.

• Broadway Spine The Canyon of Heroes has a storied history as the place where American celebrates its accom­ plishments and acknowledges achievement. As the principal north-south axis, it is the only rela­ tively wide street that can be easily located. Yet lower Broadway today is not as great a street as it has the potential to be. The ongoing streetscape enhancements being conducted by the Downtown Alliance, combined with a revitalized transit center at Fulton and Broadway, can transform Broadway into a more highly functional and aesthetically powerful roadway for Lower Manhattan.
