The park will encompass 10,000 square feet
The New York City Parks Department is proposing to transform the northeast corner of Fulton and Gold Streets from a congested traffic triangle into a sunken park oasis. The park, funded by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, would comprise more than 10,000 square feet and include a small waterfall along with benches and boulders for sitting.

Summary

In order to complete the design, the Parks Department must purchase a slice of land from the Southbridge Towers co-op. The project would also have to undergo a land-use review process.

If everything moves forward as planned, the park could be completed sometime in 2009, the same time that street work in the area is set to finish up. The city Department of Transportation is realigning the intersection of Fulton and Gold Streets to make it a standard four-way crossing, eliminating both the traffic triangle and the hazardous northbound turning lane on Fulton Street.

The Parks Department would then take the wider curb area at the northeast corner of the intersection and combine it with the Southbridge land to create a large square of green. Two paved paths would lead pedestrians down Fulton Street and into the Southbridge complex, while a third, gravel path would wind down into a grassy valley. Water would fall down a stream-like track into a small pool in the valley. The space would sport both metal benches and boulders that could double as additional seating.

The bid tranmittal is now scheduled for late-November 2008. Construction is expected to begin summer 2009 as the work on the Fulton Street reconstruction project allows.
