Fulton Street Transit Center (New York, York: tax, authority, budget) - New York City - (NY) - City-Data Forum

Anyone have any idea if/when the MTA is finishing this hub? It'll be nice not having to navigate through the maze that this station is. Lower Manhattan definitely needs this. There's just way too many stations in that area for them not to be linked up somehow.

BTW, I take the 5 and when I'm in that area and I'm on my way home, I get on at either Wall or Bowling Green. The first bad rush hour crowd always gets on at Fulton. Just throwing that out there.

The MTA & Port Authority overspent the budget by tens of millions, and now the project is on hold indefinitely.

Typical NYC tax dollars at work.

It's true that we still don't know when the project will be completed. But remember that when you're talking MTA and Port Authority, you're talking State of New York and State of New Jersey...not NYC.
