State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D-Manhattan) lashed out at the MTA today after hearing that the Fulton Street Transit hub as we knew it is in jeapordy.
Here's a statement from Silver, who represents Lower Manhattan:
The MTA's plan to reduce the size of the Fulton Street Transit Center
in Downtown Manhattan is outrageous and unacceptable. Those who live,
work and visit Downtown have been misled for far too long with grand
plans and unrealistic timetables for projects, and enough is
enough. What was promised to this community by the MTA must be funded
and built.
