When we did the new design for the ferry terminal, the integrated 1/9 station was a real improvement and an appreciated amenity. perhaps the canopy arms of Peter Minuit Plaza can be modified to at least provide rain protection for that transfer. surprised that no one has mentioned that the new station requires you to, once again, go out into the elements before entering the Whitehall Ferry Terminal.

Sun, 28 Dec 2008 21:15:20 +0000 http://secondavenuesagas.com/?p=1799#comment-58024 The new South Ferry Terminal is sterile. It has all the modern conveneinces for those who are either handicapped or can't take the weather extremes. Once the feds give out money, the new station had to be perfect for today, almost like a child's Lego design. The old stations character designs should have been incorporated into the new station. I've had enough of the state of the art designs to fill a life time. Shame on the MTA and Feds! The new South Ferry Terminal is sterile.
