Fulton Street Transit Center - Proposal

Proposal

Stations served by the 2 3 4 5 A C E J N R Z services will be rehabilitated and connected via an east-west underground passageway. A high-visibility Transit Center will be constructed, with entrances on Broadway between Fulton Street and John Street.

In addition to work on the four linked stations, including a large entrance building at Broadway and Fulton Street, the Dey Street Passageway is being built outside fare control to connect to the Cortlandt Street (BMT Broadway Line) station, and a passageway inside fare control will connect that station with the World Trade Center (IND Eighth Avenue Line) station.

The major construction activities of the project include the following:

• The Fulton Street station on the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line is being rehabilitated.
• The Fulton Street station on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line is being rehabilitated, and new entrances have been opened at the corner of Broadway and Maiden Lane (for the northbound platform) and at Cortlandt Street and Broadway (for the southbound platform).
• The mezzanine serving the Fulton Street station on the IND Eighth Avenue Line, which currently consists of several ramps on either side of Nassau Street, will be straightened.
• A new station building, the Fulton Building, to be constructed along the east side of Broadway, between Fulton and John Streets. The new station would require the demolition of the Girard Building and the former Childs Restaurant Building and would incorporate the landmarked Corbin Building at the corner of Broadway and John Street. It was considered to be cancelled at one point, but was saved in 2009 through funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This portion of the project is currently part of a Master Lease to lease over 60,000 square feet of space.
• A new passageway, Dey Street Passageway (outside of the fare control) is being built under Dey Street, connecting the Fulton Street station complex to the Cortlandt Street station on the BMT Broadway Line.
• A new connection will provide a free transfer between the Cortlandt Street station on the BMT Broadway Line and the Chambers Street – World Trade Center station on the IND Eighth Avenue Line.
• A new entrance building will be constructed on the southwest corner of Broadway and Dey Street, providing direct access to the Dey Street passageway.
• The entire complex will be made ADA-accessible.
