TKTS Booth Construction Moves at a Snail's Pace
When they first closed it down last year, it was reported it'll be open in time for the big christmas crowds this year. Doesn't seem like it'll happen.
With all due respect, it looks almost done. You don't "skin" a new building like that with a logo unless you're fairly close. Sure, there is interior work and technology installation that needs to be finished, but it "could" be open by the holidays. The surrounding area also looks to be it's ready for final grading -- not a lot of construction machinery needs to be moved.
Who cares? The line underneath the Marquis is much better, anyway. I say take your time.
"The Duffy Square/TKTS booth renovation and construction project will begin in May. The aim is a new Duffy Square booth by early winter (late 2006)."
Excuse me but the target date was winter 2006 - 6 months AGO. It takes less time to build a skyscraper in Manhattan than it has to do reconstruction on TKTS and Duffy Square.
I agree that the line under the Marquis is better than the way it was before. I say keep it like that.
I work at Lion King and I have a perfect view of Duffy Sqaure and since I have worked there (Since November) I have rarely seen anyone working on it. Its ok though I always use the South Street Seaport I hate lines and there is never one there.
