Wrote the tipster who passed it along: ‘This is proposal is causing great concern. FiDi is full of families—John Street is stroller alley and a main thoroughfare to the World Financial Center and the Seaport.'” Here’s a map to show you where it is. —Curbed

I think it’s more of a crime that John Street is referred to as stroller alley.
@Miriam – please keep you distance from John Street, tipsters are tipping that strollers gangs have taken it over and don’t look kindly upon outsiders. That means you too, @PonyBoy.
