I believe however that new pedestrian bridges are banned or require some special approval. I also didn’t see anything on the master plan for this. Does anyone know more about this? I realize the high line will provide circulation between the two nodes but I would think Related would want to connect the phases in a better manner, especially if they plan any retail component for phase II

The Vesel level of the plaza is reached from 11th Avenue via a series of “ramps” and stairways. Both 15 and 35 Hudson are accesed directly from 11th Avenue. There will be no need for a pedestrian crossing.
