At the December 5, 2006, charrette, participants suggested providing connections<br />
Wall St<br />
!<br />
from the subways and transit hubs, as well as a shuttle loop route. Many participants<br />
stressed the importance of a non-polluting vehicle and also looked for cheap and<br />
Bowling Green<br />
!<br />
simple routes. There were a number of requests to look into an electric trolley routed<br />
along the <strong>Brooklyn</strong> waterfront, in which connections to neighborhoods like Red Hook<br />
would be provided.<br />
Route Descriptions<br />
South Ferry<br />
Before considering routes, it was critical to identify a pick-up/drop-off ! location within<br />
the <strong>Park</strong>. It was assumed that Furman Street would be converted to a two-way street<br />
in the future, as described in the <strong>Park</strong> FEIS and as confirmed by NYC DOT.<br />
With the concurrence of the <strong>Park</strong> designers, the MTA vent building, located at Furman<br />
Street near Montague Street, was chosen to provide bus pick-up/drop-off access. This<br />
location was identified as ideal because it is centrally located to the <strong>Park</strong> and could<br />
even accommodate a potential NYCT bus stop. Further, a mini-transit hub could be<br />
created at this site to link shuttle buses, NYCT buses, and waterborne transport in one<br />
central location.<br />
Based on the comments received at the public meetings, the following four routes<br />
were developed:<br />
Downtown <strong>Brooklyn</strong> to Fulton Ferry Landing<br />
This loop could provide a stop at Cadman Plaza West, then travel up Old Fulton Street<br />
to Fulton Ferry Landing. Possible extensions of this route could reach south to either<br />
Downtown <strong>Brooklyn</strong>/Borough Hall or Downtown <strong>Brooklyn</strong> and MetroTech. The terminus<br />
of the route could be either at Fulton Ferry Landing or further south on Furman Street<br />
at the MTA vent building (see Figure V-3). This route would capture a large, diverse<br />
population of transit riders from the Borough Hall transit hub and MetroTech. The<br />
shorter loop would provide access to visitors using the High Street A train station.<br />
