Emerging security requirements for the Police Headquarters has turned into an extraordinary opportunity to re-imagine the Park Row/Chatham Square area of downtown and Chinatown. Road reconfigurations have provided generous new green public plaza spaces punctuated with iconic red lounge chairs, cafes, and an animated fountain.Park Row has been drastically narrowed to provide a wide cherry tree corridor through which a dual-use path weaves. The wide bridge passage has been transformed to an art piece of red ceilings and pipes that serve as the gateway to Chinatown.
