Yes, the jackhammers right now are upsetting, given that the construction has been going on 7 days a week, starting at 7 a.m. Give us a break!
The big question is what will happen to the parking spots on the north side of N. Moore between Greenwich and West. There were sidewalk sheds blocking all of the spots, but they’ve been removed. I wonder if those spots will be restored. Parking around here has gotten so ridiculous that people put their cars in front of fire hydrants (and don’t get ticketed!).
What is the deal with NYPD blocking the bike lane? They’re supposed to make the city safer, not more dangerous.
