  • Day to Night

    Day to Night

    DAY TO NIGHT Extend the hours of activity along Water Street GOUVERNEUR LANE OBJECTIVES 1. Program open spaces with regular and seasonal events and public art 2. Illuminate pedestrian space and building facades 3. Provide publicly accessible Wi-Fi and other information technology Changes on Water Street should cultivate street life that extends beyond peak commuting hours. The re-envisioned street and plazas will offer a stage to extend activity into the evening, through the weekend and across the seasons. By generating new activity and building on the improvements being made in the surrounding areas, a coordinated framework for art and events will extend the presence of people, enhance the value of open space and reposition the role of Water Street in Lower Manhattan. EXISTING STREET ACTIVITY Activity on Water Street is dominated by office workers during commuting hours and at lunchtime on weekdays. The busiest intersections during rush hour are at the most convenient access points for public transportation: Fulton, Wall, Broad, and Whitehall streets, with up to 2,000 pedestrians crossing Water Street in one direction in an hour at Clockwise from top left: Sidewalk and POPS in front of 88 Pine; Public art in POPS at 88 Pine; Blank wall and parking garage at Water Street and Pine Street; Arcade at Hanover Square obscuring retail each intersection. Alliance for Downtown New York 41 During warmer months, office workers venture to public spaces and sidewalks where street vendors are set up. People gather outside to eat or socialize, whether on nearby benches or in those public plazas with ample sun, minimal wind, and vegetation, such as Old Slip and 100 Wall Street.
