 | | South of Liberty Street, planners envision a busy strip with cafés, shops, art galleries and lots of new trees, and the sidewalk on the east side of the highway would be widened considerably, from 8-10 feet today to 35-40 feet, said Heather Sporn, deputy project director. |
 | | At the southern end of West Street, a new one-acre park would be created on a deck over the entrance to the underpass that leads around the tip of Manhattan to the FDR Drive. |
 | | At the northeast corner of West and Vesey Streets, Verizon has a switching center, 140 West Street, with several hundred conduits and cable and fiber optic lines that would have to be relocated for a tunnel, the impact statement said. |
