Cortlandt St-WTC Station Tour + 9/11 Memorial Tribute

[TransitJusticeForAll]

 

After 17 long years, the Cortlandt Street-World Trade Center Station on the Line is back in action! As we all know, the station got destroyed during the 9/11 attacks. The entire World Trade Center site had to be rebuilt before the destroyed station was touched. The WTC Oculus Transportation Hub was completed in 2016, connecting PATH, , , , , , , , & Lines at the Fulton Center, , & at Park Place, &  at Chambers Street, at World Trade Center, and the  & Lines at Cortlandt St. As of 9/8/2018, the Cortlandt Street-World Trade Center Station on the Line reopened for business at 12 noon. Inside the station is truly beautiful and breathtaking. The artwork, which I love, is from both the Declaration of Independence and the Declaration of Human Rights. In this video, you will experience first hand of the artwork of the re-commissioned station, the oculus both inside and out, the subway entrances/lines serving the oculus, the WTC tower, and the 9/11 memorial museum. Originally, this station was supposed to open in December 2018, but thanks to the resilient leadership of the MTA staff, this station completed work and opened 3 months earlier, just in time for Patriot Day. All stations and lines that link the oculus really contemplates the transportation mode in Lower Manhattan. Rebuilding this station really shows the resiliency and strength that we have as New Yorkers. We may get knocked down but we rise back up, stronger than before. So please enjoy this video tour, as we remember and honor those who lost their lives on that tragic day and the first responders who gave the ultimate sacrifice. 9/11, NEVER FORGET.
