NYPD Issues Reminder That Photos Are OK

One of the worst ones ever. Until the site is redeveloped, it can't be treated as "a tourist attraction".

 

Re-development needs to go faster. This economic crap isn't going to last forever, and when the recovery hits, i bet you 2 big holes will still be in the place of tower 2 and 3. :mad:

You bet!

They're still excavating those two ditches. Only the Freedom Tower and WTC 4 has seen major progress.

I don't know if Towers 2 & 3 are too complex to build. The Transit Center and Memorial Park at least is on track, :P! Hopefully, the Port Authority can allow light photography there in the future, ;)...

It's not that they are complex to built, it's because Port is still excavating their foundations and they are long overdue. Port has to pay Silverstein Properties sum amount per day late. Man, the Port's going to screw itself up with all of those penalties.

Unlike the (MTA), PA actually is in good financial shape.

Nope, the money Silverstein gets is free money, he doesn't have to do anything for it. Has nothing to with the PA of NY/NJ.

I see... by the way, the PAC will have to wait until at least 2014 for its construction. The PATH temporary stop occupies the site for it. So when the Hub is opened, the temporary entrance will close for good and room could be made for the Permorming Arts Ctr.

Well, yeah. But, what is taking so long to build WTC 2 and 3? WTC 4 is building!

 

Politics and other entities were clashing at each other in 2005. The cornerstone for the Freedom Tower was laid on the 4th of July, 2004. However during much of 2005, the State, the City, Silverstein properties and the PA were having this "turf war". During this time, the Freedom Tower had to be re-designed "for security purposes". It was up till late 2006 did hardcore construction begin.

Tower 2 and 3 had their foundations at the previous PATH temporary terminal. Crews could not excavate until the PATH terminal at Church Street was demolished. They had to wait till the present one was finished before they could tear it down. It was not just the street structure that had to be demolished, but also the mezzanine and the escalators.

Once the PATH station was out of the way, crews could finally excavate the foundations for the future towers.
