Seaport/Civic Center

A nice opportunity to ask about the Styrofoam snowstorm.

Financial District

11/9 Landmarks & Preservation Committee – 6:00 PM
Location: Community Board 1 – Conference Room, 1 Centre Street, Room 2202A-North
1) 70 Franklin Street, application for replacement of sidewalk on Franklin Place – Resolution
2) 170 Duane Street, application for alterations to façade, raising of a parapet wall and enclosure of terraces – Resolution

170 Duane is pictured below. The terraces must be for the topper.

3) 109 West Broadway, application for painting sidewalk café structure white, adding standing seam metal roof and signage – Resolution

Sounds like Holy Ground, the barbecue-and-more restaurant opening in the former Super Linda space, is going for a tin shack vibe.

4) 222 West Broadway, application for approval of existing awning – Resolution

That would be Terra and/or Sweet Lily.

5) 53-55 Beach Street, application for ADA compliant wheelchair lift – Resolution

One was already added without Landmarks Preservation Commission approval.

6) Pier 17, application for Roof Summer Temporary Structures – Resolution

That’s the big canopy that Seaport District owner Howard Hughes Corporation has planned. The big question is exactly how often that roof will be open to the public and how often it will be reserved for private events.

7) 25 Fulton Street, application for ADA Compliant lift – Resolution
8) 111 Broadway and 115 Broadway, application for alterations to Thames Streets – Resolution

Capital Properties, which owns 111 and 115 Broadway, would like to turn the street that runs between the two buildings, Thames Street, into a pedestrian-only mall. That essentially turns public space private; they should pay.

11/13 Land Use, Zoning & Economic Development Committee – 6:00 PM
Location: Community Board 1 – Conference Room, 1 Centre Street, Room 2202A-North
1) Park Row and Broadway – Presentation by NYC Department of Transportation

That intersection is dangerous (as is any intersection that leads up to cars trying to get into a tunnel or onto a bridge—they get crazy); it’ll be interesting to see how the DOT plans to fix it.

2) Beaver Street Reversal – Discussion and possible resolution

Beaver already goes both ways—I mean, both directions—so it’s not clear which segment this is regarding.

3) 10 Hanover Square, Board of Standard and Appeals application for a special permit to allow a physical culture establishment – Resolution

11/14 Youth & Education Committee – 6:00 PM
Location: Community Board 1 – Conference Room, 1 Centre Street, Room 2202A-North

2) Understood.org a non-profit online resource for parents of kids with learning and attention issues – Presentation by Matt Lurrie, Field Manager

The organization is based on Laight Street.

3) Peck Slip Play Street Safety Issues – Follow-up discussion and possible resolution

Peck Slip School parents are concerned about someone driving into the blocked-off street while kids are at recess. This sounded much more paranoid a week ago.

4) Cell Phone Towers Adjacent to Schools – Discussion and possible resolution

Peck Slip School parents are worried about their kids’ brains getting fried by cell-phone antennas overlooking the play area.

5) SUNY Charter School Teacher Self Evaluations – Possible resolution
6) New Residential Development and School Seat Planning – Possible resolution

11/15 Executive Committee – 6:00 PM
Location: Community Board 1 – Conference Room, 1 Centre Street, Room 2202A-North

11/16 Quality of Life & Service Delivery Committee – 6:00 PM
Location: Community Board 1 – Conference Room, 1 Centre Street, Room 2202A-North
1) 311 Customer Service Management System Replacement – Report by Bill Reda, NYC 311 Communications Director
2) New Course for the New York City Half – Presentation by Philip Santora, Director of Government & Community Relations

In the past, the NYC Half [Marathon] has gone down the West Side, curved around the Battery, and ended in FiDi—and the ending festivities have ticked off residents in the past. As you can see below, the 2018 route skips Tribeca, Battery Park City, and FiDi. (Now tell me again why the Five Boro Bike Tour can’t change its route?)

3) Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment – Discussion of Issues and Procedures

This jeeps getting postponed and let’s hope it finally happens because at three shoots a week in Tribeca alone, something needs to be done.

4) Safety Issues on York Street and St. John’s Lane – Discussion with Chinese American Planning Council

No clue what this is about. (York Street is the tiny block next to the Hilton Garden Inn; St. John’s Lane runs between Beach Street and Laight Street.) Maybe Spring Studios traffic is putting the children at the Chinese American Planning Council at risk?

11/21 Waterfront, Parks & Resiliency Committee – 6:00 PM
Location: Community Board 1 – Conference Room, 1 Centre Street, Room 2202A-North
1) The Battery – Update by Warrie Price, President & Founder, The Battery Conservancy
2) West Side Ferry Service – Presentation by Jeffrey Cole LeFrancois, Manhattan Community Board 4
3) DeLury Square Improvements – Report

It opened in 2010.

4) Community District 1 Resiliency – Report

11/28 CB 1 Monthly Meeting – 6:00 PM
