Talk:Greenwich Street

Interrupted or not edit

This article currently states that Greenwich Street is "interrupted between Vesey and Liberty Streets by the former World Trade Center site", but according to 7 World Trade Center, the building was rebuilt "on a smaller footprint than the original to allow Greenwich Street to be restored from TriBeCa through the World Trade Center site and south to Battery Park". Does the street now pass all the way through, or is it still interrupted? Ruyn (talk) 21:23, 21 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I think in these two pictures one can see the Greenwich Street how it looked like in 2006
 
2006 from 7WTC direction south
 
In Feb 2011 from Milennium Hotel direction west

and in February 2011 at Ground Zero or the WTC-site. It is at the moment obviously not open to general (public) traffic but used as a builders access to the site. If I understand plans right after relocating the PATH station entrance from the Performing Arts Center site (where it is today) to the space between 2 WTC and 3 WTC the Performing Arts Center will be built and after that is terminated and 2 to 4 WTC are completed the street will be reinstalled in a way to be used by general public traffic. Unfortunately this is partly speculative (see WP:NOR) and therefore not suitable for a Wiki-article only in discussion it can be written this way. --PhChAK (talk) 22:18, 28 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Pronunciation edit

How do you pronounce it? The original Greenwich in London is pronounced "Grennitch". Is it the same in NYC? Cop 663 (talk) 18:17, 24 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

It is, but that's not a bad question... especially when you consider the way nearby Houston Street is pronounced... :) HMishkoff (talk) 02:44, 24 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
