Reports say a memorial for the estimated victims of the World Trade Centre attacks may include a glass structure inscribed with all their names.
According to the New York Post, a glass box or a dome may be placed over Fritz Koenig's Sphere - a massive bronze artwork recovered from Ground Zero.
The report said officials hope to have a memorial plan organised by March 11th, the six-month anniversary of the attacks.
The paper reported officials want to make sure the victims' families agree with the plans.
"Any gesture that's going to memorialise my brother, and the people that were lost, is fine with me," said Mr Michael Cartier of the families' group, Give Your Voice.
Sources told the paper the favourite location for the memorial is a small park known as 'Teardrop park' on Murray Street in Battery Park City.
