In the News: Speed cameras installed on Warren and West

ENFORCING SPEED ON WEST STREET
Speed cameras have been installed on West Street at Warren as part of a citywide effort, but also in reaction to the car accident last December that killed Amy Phillipson, 57, on the highway at Vestry Street. The city will install another 50 or so cameras each month until it reaches the law’s maximum by June 2020. –The Daily News

INSIDE 11 BEACH STREET
AD has a Q&A with Tribecan and architect Thomas Juul-Hansen, and a look inside 11 Beach: “The building was an old art school. Because of that, the floor plan was quite big, and made this more complicated than a straightforward residential renovation. But I’ve lived in Tribeca since 1999, and I knew the neighborhood very well. I understood who the potential residents [in the building] would be.”

THE BULL GETS BREATHING ROOM
The Trib reports that the city is going to make the area around the Bull by Bowling Green more pedestrian friendly and less accessible to traffic.

ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE IS A BIG WINNER
The Real Deal reports that Newmark won a top retail deal award for placing the Alamo Drafthouse 12-screen multiplex at 28 Liberty. The 40,000-square-foot cinema is “a keystone in Fosun’s $200 million overhaul of the landmarked office tower [Chase Plaza] it bought in 2013 for $750 million.”
