Church Street Station post office
Church Street is a short but heavily travelled north/south street in Lower Manhattan in New York City. It runs along the eastern edge of the site of the World Trade Center destroyed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Its southern end is at Trinity Place, of which it is a continuation. Its northern end is at Canal Street, but a few blocks before Canal Street it connects to the southern end of Sixth Avenue. Trinity Place, Church Street and Sixth Avenue form a continuous four-lane through route from Lower Manhattan to Central Park.
The Eighth Avenue subway line runs below Church Street from Liberty Street to Sixth Avenue. A portion of the BMT Broadway Line runs under Church Street. The Cortlandt Street station, damaged in the September 11 attacks, is adjacent to the former site of the twin towers.
