After several pieces of transit infrastructure in Lower Manhattan were destroyed or severely damaged during the September 11, 2001, attacks, officials proposed a $7 billion redesign of transit in the neighborhood. This included the Fulton Street Transit Center, the &lt;a href="South%20Ferry/Whitehall%20Street%20%28New%20York%20City%20Subway%29"&gt;South Ferry/Whitehall Street&lt;/a&gt; terminal further downtown, and the reconstruction of the West Side Highway. The most important of these projects was the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's proposed terminal for PATH trains at the World Trade Center site, which was destroyed when the World Trade Center collapsed. A preliminary plan for the new terminal included situating it under Church Street, near the site of the former Hudson Terminal and close to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)'s &lt;a href="Fulton%20Street%20%28New%20York%20City%20Subway%29"&gt;Broadway–Nassau/Fulton Street&lt;/a&gt; station. The new terminal would also contain direct connections to the subway; previously, World Trade Center had been served by three different subway stations at Cortlandt and Greenwich Streets, at Cortlandt and Church Streets, and at Church Street between Chambers and Vesey Streets. Money was also to be allocated to study the feasibility of commuter rail service to Lower Manhattan. This would later become the canceled &lt;a href="Lower%20Manhattan%E2%80%93Jamaica/JFK%20Transportation%20Project"&gt;Lower Manhattan–Jamaica/JFK Transportation Project&lt;/a&gt;, which would have created a railway line between Lower Manhattan and John F. Kennedy International Airport via the Long Island Rail Road and AirTrain JFK.
