Outside temperature -51°C, 1250 miles to go, all this information gleaned from the small TV screen at one’s seat on the plane. A long and gradual descent into JFK over the length of Long Island, some of its illustrious properties being visible. Arrived JFK at 5.40pm UK time; (12.40pm US time). After immigration and baggage processing, met up with 2 additional members of the group who had flown from Heathrow arriving 15 minutes later, then on to Air- train (car 207) for shuttle trip to Howard Beach/JFK subway station/surface running here (1.55 – 2.05 ). On leaving the arrival area, Ted spotted that tickets for the Airtrain were available at Howard Beach subway station at the end of the journey. And, sure enough, they were purchased, along with a “One Day Fun Pass” from a stall on the Howard Beach concourse run by an Hispanic gentleman who it is assumed made more profit on ticket sales than other items which he sold. One ticket was used on the Airtrain exit barrier and the other ticket through the Subway entry gate.

At some stage after sailing, Matthew was noted to be missing; last seen photographing on waterfront, but reunited at breakfast next morning. Now getting dusk and remainder of party discovered a restaurant Karls Klipper Diner on Bay Street. A reasonable meal for hungry people with unusual entertainment in the shape of a three part amateur video on “way-out” weird subjects, which happened to arrive to show their latest work whilst we were there.

Obtained tickets at 8.35am, then joined another queue for the ferry, boarding at 9.20 after a security inspection. Meantime, several members had obtained hot dogs etc. from local vendors in the park, to alleviate hunger pangs. At this stage Queen Mary II was noted docked in a berth partly obscured beyond Governor’s Island. Ferry sailed 9.32am, and arrived at the Statue at 9.45: now very hot. Further queuing for a more rigorous security inspection of all persons and baggage then finally into Statue Museum contained within stone plinth base at 10.45am. A conducted tour ensued by an eloquent female in Park Ranger uniform 11.00 to 11.35am followed by walk up and down 156 steps to view Statue’s metal interior support structure and spiral staircase in centre, but none of this is now open to general public since 9/11 and is well supervised. Departed Statue of Liberty at 12.00 on ferry boat “Miss Liberty” arriving at Ellis Island at 12.15pm. Statue of Liberty Dined here in a busy café 12.35–1.30pm followed by interesting conducted tour 2– 2.30pm of immigration main building with description of activities of the process by an entertaining male guide of dead-pan tones and dry humour, also in Park Ranger uniform. This was followed by one’s own independent tour of extensive museum exhibits demonstrating the conditions here during the Island’s functioning years of 1892 to 1954. Departed Ellis Island at 3.42pm aboard “Miss Ellis Island” arriving at Battery Park at 4.05pm. Walked through baking hot streets to “Ground Zero”, the site of the World Trade Centre twin towers building destroyed 11 September 2001 by aerial terrorist attack. Reconstruction work in deep basement excavation has started on replacement building of 1776 ft in height. Some time was expended on reading the memorials to the 2752 persons killed in the 9/11 attack plus reconstructed PATH subway “balloon loop” terminal, opened after only 11 months of closure.

    BROOKLYN TRANSIT PRIMARY SOURCE PACKET Student Name 1 2 INTRODUCTORY READING "New York City Transit - History and Chronology." Mta.info. Metropolitan Transit Authority. Web. 28 Dec. 2015. Adaptation In the early stages of the development of public transportation systems in New York City, all operations were run by private companies. Abraham Brower established New York City's first public transportation route in 1827, a 12-seat stagecoach that ran along Broadway in Manhattan from the Battery to Bleecker Street. By 1831, Brower had added the omnibus to his fleet. The next year, John Mason organized the New York and Harlem Railroad, a street railway that used horse-drawn cars with metal wheels and ran on a metal track. By 1855, 593 omnibuses traveled on 27 Manhattan routes and horse-drawn cars ran on street railways on Third, Fourth, Sixth, and Eighth Avenues. Toward the end of the 19th century, electricity allowed for the development of electric trolley cars, which soon replaced horses. Trolley bus lines, also called trackless trolley coaches, used overhead lines for power. Staten Island was the first borough outside Manhattan to receive these electric trolley cars in the 1920s, and then finally Brooklyn joined the fun in 1930. By 1960, however, motor buses completely replaced New York City public transit trolley cars and trolley buses. The city's first regular elevated railway (el) service began on February 14, 1870. The El ran along Greenwich Street and Ninth Avenue in Manhattan. Elevated train service dominated rapid transit for the next few decades. On September 24, 1883, a Brooklyn Bridge cable-powered railway opened between Park Row in Manhattan and Sands Street in Brooklyn, carrying passengers over the bridge and back.

    A Retrospective of Preservation Practice and the New York City Subway System

    Under the Big Apple: a Retrospective of Preservation Practice and the New York City Subway System by Emma Marie Waterloo This thesis/dissertation document has been electronically approved by the following individuals: Tomlan,Michael Andrew (Chairperson) Chusid,Jeffrey M. (Minor Member) UNDER THE BIG APPLE: A RETROSPECTIVE OF PRESERVATION PRACTICE AND THE NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY SYSTEM A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Emma Marie Waterloo August 2010 © 2010 Emma Marie Waterloo ABSTRACT The New York City Subway system is one of the most iconic, most extensive, and most influential train networks in America. In operation for over 100 years, this engineering marvel dictated development patterns in upper Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. The interior station designs of the different lines chronicle the changing architectural fashion of the aboveground world from the turn of the century through the 1940s. Many prominent architects have designed the stations over the years, including the earliest stations by Heins and LaFarge. However, the conversation about preservation surrounding the historic resource has only begun in earnest in the past twenty years. It is the system’s very heritage that creates its preservation controversies. After World War II, the rapid transit system suffered from several decades of neglect and deferred maintenance as ridership fell and violent crime rose. At the height of the subway’s degradation in 1979, the decision to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the opening of the subway with a local landmark designation was unusual.
  • Historic Lower Manhattan

    Historic Lower Manhattan

    Historic Lower Manhattan To many people Lower Manhattan means financial district, where the large buildings are designed to facilitate the exchange of money. The buildings, streets and open spaces, however, recall events that gave birth to a nation and have helped shape the destiny of western civilization. Places such as St. Paul's Chapel and Federal Hall National Memorial exemplify a number of sites which have been awarded special status by the Federal Government. The sites appearing in this guide are included in the following programs which have given them public recognition and helped to assure their survival. National Park Service Since its inauguration in 1916, the National Park Service has been dedicated to the preservation and management of our country's unique national, historical and recreational areas. The first national park in the world—Yellowstone—has been followed by the addition of over 300 sites in the 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. National Park areas near and in Manhattan are: Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site, Fire Island National Seashore, Gateway National Recreation Area, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, Hamilton Grange National Memorial, and General Grant National Memorial. National Historic Landmarks National Park Service historians study and evaluate historic properties throughout the country. Acting upon their findings the Secretary of the Interior may declare the properties eligible for designation as National National Parks are staffed by Park Rangers who can provide information As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of the Historic Landmarks. The owner of such a property is offered a certif­ to facilitate your visit to Lower Manhattan.

    Design a Subway Station Mosaic That Reflects Their Home Or School Neighborhood and Draw It

    MILES OF TILES MILES OF TILES BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS “Design and aesthetics have been a part of the subway from the original stations of 1904 to the latest work in 2018. But nothing in New York stands still – certainly not the subway - and the approach to subway style has evolved, reflecting the major stages of the system’s construction during the early 1900s, the teens, and the late 20s and early 30s and the renovations and redesigns of later years. The earliest parts of the system still convey the flowery, genteel flavor of a smaller, older city. Later sections, by contrast, show a conscious turn toward the modern, including open admiration for the system’s raw structural power. The evolution of subway design follows the trajectory of the world of art and architecture as these came to terms with the Industrial revolution, and the tug-of-war between a traditional deference to European models and a modernist ideology demanding an honest expression of contemporary industrial technology.” —Subway style: 100 years of Architecture & Design in the New York City Subway New York City, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, was an industrial hub attracting many Americans from rural communities looking for work, and immigrants looking for better lives. It was, however, blighted by impoverished neighborhoods of broken down tenements and social injustice. The city lacked a plan for how it should look, where structures should be built, or how services should be distributed. It was described as a ‘ragged pincushion of towers’ with no government regulation over the urban landscape.

    D. Rail Transit

    Chapter 9: Transportation (Rail Transit) D. RAIL TRANSIT EXISTING CONDITIONS The subway lines in the study area are shown in Figures 9D-1 through 9D-5. As shown, most of the lines either serve only portions of the study area in the north-south direction or serve the study area in an east-west direction. Only one line, the Lexington Avenue line, serves the entire study area in the north-south direction. More importantly, subway service on the East Side of Manhattan is concentrated on Lexington Avenue and west of Allen Street, while most of the population on the East Side is concentrated east of Third Avenue. As a result, a large portion of the study area population is underserved by the current subway service. The following sections describe the study area's primary, secondary, and other subway service. SERVICE PROVIDED Primary Subway Service The Lexington Avenue line (Nos. 4, 5, and 6 routes) is the only rapid transit service that traverses the entire length of the East Side of Manhattan in the north-south direction. Within Manhattan, southbound service on the Nos. 4, 5 and 6 routes begins at 125th Street (fed from points in the Bronx). Local service on the southbound No. 6 route ends at the Brooklyn Bridge station and the last express stop within Manhattan on the Nos. 4 and 5 routes is at the Bowling Green station (service continues into Brooklyn). Nine of the 23 stations on the Lexington Avenue line within Manhattan are express stops. Five of these express stations also provide transfer opportunities to the other subway lines within the study area.
