Planners for the archdiocese want the new building close to Greenwich Street, rather than behind or on top of the hill that will be formed by the entryway to the ramps.
“The church has to be accessible,’ said Nicholas P. Koutsomitis, an architect who is preparing the master plan for St. Nicholas. “It can’t be perched on top of a hill.” (emphasis mine)
