Low, Setha: “The Ellis Island Bridge Proposal”

The Ellis Island is a historical place. During the late 19th century and early 20th century the island was used as a federal immigration station for the port of New York. unfortunately the park was closing during the year of 1954, and kept abandoned until that former president Lyndon Johnson added Ellis Island to the Statue of Liberty Museum Monument.In the years to come the National Park Services wanted to build a bridge from Liberty State Park to Ellis Island.The bridge would be 400 yards of water between Ellis Island and Liberty State Park. In 1994, the Public Space Research Group interview the public to see what they thought about the bridge proposal, interviews were held in Spanish, Russian or English. A strong interest grew among those who where interviewed. a understanding of the problems and consequences of the issue had been formed for the people.
ive been to the island many times and i too believe it is a horrible ideal to build a bridge, mostly because it would be the cause of people losing their jobs
