| This
concept plan creates
a 5-acre triangular
public open space
with Greenwich Street
extending through
the site. New memorial,
cultural, and commercial
facilities enclose
this open space to
the west, with a central
public pavilion. A
major east-west pedestrian
route passes through
a series of open and
enclosed spaces, including
the pavilion, which
provides access to
memorial facilities
and a below-grade
transit concourse.
A broad elevated pedestrian
deck spans West Street
to reach the upper
level of the Winter
Garden, leading to
the waterfront.
