| Fulton Street October 2009 |
It's one of Lower Manhattan busiest streets, and its traffic will continue to grow as major rebuilding projects take shape on and around it. That's why the city launched a full capital reconstruction of Fulton Street in July 2007 including improved utilities, streetscape elements, and open spaces.
The first phase of the project includes curb-to-curb utility work along the "priority commercial corridor" from Church to Gold Street. That work, carried out by Judlau Contracting, has replaced Fulton Street's 150-year-old water main, installed new catch basins for better drainage, and upgraded utilities like electric, gas, and fiber-optic lines.
Streetscape improvements are bringing new sidewalks, granite curbs, lighting, and street "furniture." City planners also are working with Fulton Street building owners to create more unified storefronts/facades on the corridor.
The second phase of work started in mid-2009, and extends the reconstruction east of Gold. Phase 3 was active from June 2010 through late 2012, and rebuilt Nassau and other ancillary streets, as well as installed new streetscape components. Improvements to several open spaces, such as DeLury Square and Titantic Park, also are part of the project in partnership with the Parks and Recreation Deparment.

Q:
|
How is the utility work happening?
|
|
A:
|
Since 2007 the city has been implementing utility upgrades along the priority corridor from Church to Gold Street. Judlau Contracting is excavating the roadway to replace Fulton Street's 150-year-old water main. New catch basins and sewer connections will help the street drain properly, while other utilities like electric, gas, and fiber-optic lines will be upgraded and old ducts removed -- improving capacity for decades to come.
The city expedites the curb-to-curb utility work by allowing crews to work double shifts, six days a week (weekdays 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.). Segments of Fulton Street will be closed to through traffic but remain accessible for deliveries, emergency vehicles, and pedestrians. Late-night water shutoffs will be necessary at times, always preceded by community notification.

|
Q:
|
What improvements will there be for park spaces?
|
|
A:
|
Several open spaces will be revamped as part of the second phase. Improvements include reconfiguring the intersection of Fulton and Gold Streets to form a new, larger DeLury Square Park at the northeast corner. The project also improves the streetscape along Fulton Street, between Gold and Pearl Streets, with new trees, sidewalks, and benches.
Additional upgrades have brought a rebuilt Titanic Park (in the Seaport plaza), as well as a new Pearl Street Playground, which brings the closure of Little Pearl Street to create a pedestrian plaza. The Parks Dept. greenspace improvements also saw the conversion of the parking lot at Burling Slip into an innovative playground in summer 2010.
