The redesigned park layout

The New York City Parks Department is transforming 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.

All of the posted information, including schedules and completion dates are based on the information provided by the project managers.

Summary

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 has taken over the wider pedestrian area at the northeast corner of the intersection and will combine it with the Southbridge land to create a larger green space. 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.
