When last we checked in with the Fulton St. Transit Center debacle, the MTA had, once again, promised a new design for the long-gone dome in 30 days. That was 62 days ago.
While even the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation’s website on the Fulton Hub simply states a “Spring 2008″ date for arrival of a […]

The Fulton St. Transit Hub sure has a long and tortured history. The MTA is halfway through building…something…at Fulton St. and they’ve nearly completely run out of money for the project based on their budget projections.
As I’ve detailed — sometimes painstakingly — the fun started […]
It’s the Return of the Fulton St. Transit Hub! Nearly a month to the day since the MTA promised to build something at Fulton St., we have another round of Fulton St. Transit Hub news. How fun.
Toward the end of last week, while we were mourning the death of congestion pricing, word leaked out […]
After last week’s discussions about circumferential subway lines of the future, let’s step back and look at something on the MTA’s table that the agency can’t get off the ground: the ever-popular and ever-delayed Fulton St. Transit Hub.
When last we checked in with the Hub in January, the MTA had just scrapped plans for the […]
Yup. There’s that dome again. (Source: MTA Capital Construction)
Add Lower Manhattan residents to that ever-growing list of New Yorkers annoyed at the plans to overhaul the Fulton St. Transit Hub. They join the displaced merchants as everyone tries to finger the MTA for this misguided plan’s shortcomings.
On Monday night, residents of Community Board 1 gathered […]
At some point, a Fulton St. Transit Hub will live here. It might just be a hole in the ground with a ladder. (Photo by Newkirk Plaza David from Subchat)
As the news keeps coming in, this Fulton St. overhaul isn’t getting much favorable play. While the New York Post graciously obnoxiously noted how they knew […]
You get the point.
Originallly, plans called for it to be 50 feet tall. Then, rising costs pushed the height down to 30 feet and then 20 feeet. Now, the glass dome that was supposed to sit atop the Fulton St. Transportation Hub is gone from the plans, the victim of inflation and rising construction costs, […]

That pesky Fulton St. Transit Hub. Years behind schedule and beset with fiscal problems, this expansive project designed to unite all of the subway lines in Lower Manhattan may be reaching a breaking point. In fact, MTA officials […]
The Fulton St. Transportation Hub, originally set to open this month, may be facing even more delays as the MTA received just one bid for the contract to construct the ornate glass-domed centerpiece of the project. As Bobby Cuza details at NY1, this news belongs very firmly in the “Not Good” category. I’ll have more […]
Later than expected, Santiago Calatrava’s giant porcupine will be a cornerstone of Lower Manhattan. (Source: Lower Manhattan)
Here’s a shocker: The World Trade Center hub, much like every other project centered around Ground Zero, won’t open until at least a year later than expected. The Port Authority announced today that the completion date on Santiago Calatrava’s […]
