Governor’s Skyway

Working pro bono, Santiago Calatrava came up with drawings for a gondola that would connect Lower Manhattan with Governor’s Island–with considerable help we imagine, from STV Inc. and Leitner-Poma of America. The sketches put a little glamour in the rather technical announcement by Governor Pataki and Mayor Bloomberg this morning that the agency overseeing the island had issued a request for proposals.
