Progress at Cortlandt Street

The Cortlandt Street RW Station was wrecked up good on 9/11. For the past 8 years you’ve had to either get off at City Hall or at Rector Street, leaving a half mile gap between the stations. It looks like the grand reopening is edging nearer, as workers recently removed the wood shed covering up the street level entrances. They’re still blocked off to pedestrians, but they look nice.

And here’s the green globe lit up with WTC7 (also rebuilt after 9/11) in the background.

This photo could be the logo for the MTA’s citywide mess of crumbling infrastructure and slipshod maintenance: A rusted away pipe that has been refashioned with a hollow cylinder of duct tape.
