From Community Board 1…. My comments are indented on the line below.

Please note that this is a preliminary list. Be sure to check the agenda page on our website for any changes to agendas prior to the meeting dates. (ID is required to enter building.)

Note: Most meetings are now in the Municipal Building, where there’s much more security—so allow for extra time to make your way to the meeting.

2) Pier A – Update by HPH NYC
3) Battery Park City Authority Capital Projects – Update by Gwen Dawson, Vice President Real Property
4) Tunnel to Towers Run – Debriefing

There’s been some back-and-forth between inconvenienced residents and people accusing them of being whiners. So here’s your chance to let the organizers know if you would like them to consider a new place for the finish line and its accompanying festivities. (Why can’t it end at the 9/11 Memorial?) Or to support it as is, of course. If you can’t make the meeting, email your thoughts to CB1 at man01@cb.nyc.gov.

3) Reconstruction of Vestry Street from Hudson Street to Varick Street – Presentation by Corenzo Wilkerson, Project Engineer and Lindsey Berkhahn, Engineer in Charge, NYC Department of Design and Construction

Oh, dear. “Reconstruction” usually means what happened to Hudson and Chambers (and was supposed to start this fall on Worth). Anyway, this is likely bad news for folks on Vestry.

5) City Council Sanitation Committee Hearing for Int. 377 – Cleaning Garbage Liquid After Collection – Follow up report by Councilmember Margaret Chin’s legislative staff

I’m so heartened to see this being discussed, because it’s really getting disgusting around here. There are some restaurants that make minimal effort to clean up the greasy gunk that their garbage leaves behind, and it’s going to become a hazard, because that gets slippery.
