Sadly, $100 says they don't meet any of the new goals either.

It's taken as long for us to get a timeline for the WTC as it took to conceive, design, and construct the Bank of America Tower at 42nd/6th, the second-tallest building in the city.

This whole thing is a joke. Dam shame.

Reading the bailout bill passed by the Senate, it seems senators from an awful lot of states managed to throw in an awful lot of pork...$100 million for NASCAR, $500 million for Hollywood studios, $200 million for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, $2 million for a company in Oregon that makes a very specialized type of wooden arrows used by archers. Where were Chuck and Hill when they were handing these out? Why couldn't they throw in a couple billion as some kind of World Trade Center relief provision?

I really believe them this time. They wouldn't tell us something if it wasn't true would they? Come on people it's the Port Authority, not some poorly run state or city agency.

Look, none of this is going to get built. Fill the hole, build some low-rise apartment buildings and retail and let's get on with it. www.forgotten-ny.com

It's Chris WARD not WARE. As in CHRIS WARD of Croton Filtration Plant notoriety. You're welcome.

It's Ward. Chris Ward. Christopher O. Ward. Initials COW.

Given the current and future economic crisis that will no doubt last for many upcoming years (and possibly longer now that all the regulators will be tied to wallstreet) why build more empty buildings in lower Manhattan. Just make it a big park and leave it at that. There are already enough empty office buildings and even more to come. I predict 2020 or later.

"Probabilistic"? I was surprised to see that is a word, but are they using correctly?

Whoa, Chris Ware is the PA Director? Maybe he can get the Super-Man to work on the site.

Meanwhile, in Las Vegas, enormous lavish casinos shoot up seemingly overnight.
