UlmerPark B6 Posted January 13, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 13, 2009 In the 2008-2013, the wants to think of ideas to make the proposed Lower Manhattan Bus Depot. Where do you think will be a good spot for this depot? Maybe around Battery Park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTARegional Bus Posted January 13, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 13, 2009 There in debit they want to build other depot? great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted January 13, 2009 Share #4 Posted January 13, 2009 Build it across the street from Pathmark (at Pike and Cherry).. this space is under the Manhattan Bridge. There is adequate space for it. Despite the fact that many lines that will benefit from the depot terminates in the Financial District and the Battery Park area, I doubt they can build one within the Financial District. There is too much development going on, so I recommend that that area at Pike will be the best location for one now, since it is a fairly large vacant lot.

Eric B Posted January 14, 2009 Share #5 Posted January 14, 2009 In the Manhattan Bridge alternatives study, in the event of a full shutdown for trains, more buses would be run from Brooklyn, and they came up with an idea to use empty lots; one near Essex/Delancey, and another somewhere further downtowm, to store buses. So those might be where another depot would be built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The community won't like it if the MTA decides to turn it into a bus depot, since they offer significantly lower rates than most carparks around the area. Aren't there plans to erect condominiums/mixed-use facilities there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that near the vicinity of the OLD Av B & East Broadway Company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w8Hou Posted January 17, 2009 Share #8 Posted January 17, 2009 They might as well reopen the Hudson Pier Depot. Yeah right.... Those NIMBY would kill this idea for a new bus depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted January 17, 2009 Share #9 Posted January 17, 2009 Isn't that near the vicinity of the OLD Av B & East Broadway Company? That is right, until they developed the Pathmark site. I advocate for a bus depot to be built on the west of the old ABEBC depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armax1980 Posted January 18, 2009 Share #10 Posted January 18, 2009 They should renovate and reopen the old hudson pier depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Glen Posted January 19, 2009 Share #11 Posted January 19, 2009 Lower Manhattan NIMBY's (particularly in Tribeca) will oppose it. Lower Manhattan is too densely populated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually depends on where you are talking about. If you are talking about the Financial District, the WTC area, the Chinatown area and TriBeCa, of course not. But I am advocating for a site in the Lower East Side, under the Manhattan Bridge, west of Pike Street, north of South Street and south of Cherry Street and next to the Murry Bergtraum Field. There is the space for it and it is hardly used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
