The ceiling of the City Hall Subway Station.

What a great photo! Thanks! Don’t you think it is long past time to open the City Hall Subway Station to regular public use? This now restored gem has been hidden from the public for years. Its sometime use for private parties is good, but not enough.

(Don’t you think it is long past time to open the City Hall Subway Station to regular public use?)
The real issue is this: because the #6 loop passes under City Hall, the City of New York has required that everyone get off the train (to ensure no one rides it with a bomb).
The need to make sure everyone is off (if they stayed on they’d end up at the same station in the other direction) backs up the #6 at rush hours. Needed or or not? After all, unlike Park Row, it’s not as if the police can park in the loop.
