The Freedom Tower

A blog called Lawhawk.blogspot.com says that law enforcement officials are concerned about the construction of Towers 2, 3, and 4 along Greenwich Street at Ground Zero. They’re worried that they are covered with too much glass, or are located too close to the street.

Law enforcement counterterrorism specialists have pinpointed serious flaws in key components of the Trade Center site, including three of the signature office towers projected to open by 2012.

Towers 2, 3 and 4 - which will rise between Greenwich and Church Streets. to 79, 71 and 64 stories, respectively - contain too much glass, sources familiar with the issues said.

They also are not set back far enough from the two streets - where uninspected trucks will whiz by - to meet the most rigorous security standards, the sources said.

“The reimposition of the street grid is an integral part of the plan to bring vibrancy to lower Manhattan,” said Avi Schick, chairman of the Lower Manhattan Development Corp.

“The administration understands the need to balance that goal with legitimate security concerns.”
