Default New York's PATH meeting this Wednesday

There is still talk of reusing the Hudson Terminal site for the new
permanent World Trade Center station, because the demolished WTC station
(and the temporary station) are partly in the footprint which the WTC
relatives want kept sacred.


There was a suggestion at one time of extending Path East of the WTC site,
then turning North to join one of the existing Subway lines, I think it may
have been the 6, towards Lexington Avenue, joining it somewhere near the old
dis-used City Hall station on the loop where the 6 turns now, but I'm not
sure about this. There was a web-site about it. Somebody reported that
Path is incompatible with the Subway, but, espically since Path is to get
new rolling stock soon, I would have thought the work involved to make it
compatible would be relatively minor, in terms of the total reconstruction
of the WTC site. Whether there would be any other technical problems, and
whether there would be enough demand for such a service, I have no idea. Was
any mention made of this.
