A proposal to build a PATH station near the South Street station was abandoned. However, this was mixed up with the new station planned to be in the south ward, and politicians responded with anger to the Port Authority as a result. The Port Authority later explained the misunderstanding and that the South Ward project was not cancelled but still in the planning phase.[3]
