Apologies: got too comfortable with having August off from CB1 meetings and forgot that it all had to start again in September. (I bet you board members know what I am talking about here.) So if you were waiting on me, we missed the Transportation Committee on Tuesday (Frankfort Street bike lane presentation from the DOT; congestion pricing discussion; Taste of the Seaport discussion; LMCC block party discussion) and the Battery Park City Committee on Wednesday (updates on the pedestrian bridges; impacts of the giant catering venue Convene; protecting wildlife at the Lily Pond; update on the Rockefeller Park renos). Here’s the rest of the month’s agendas, with my comments in caps.

9/9 LAND USE, ZONING AND ECON DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE – 6p
Location: Community Board 1 Conference Room, 1 Centre Street, Room 2202A-North
1) Board of Standards and Appeals application 2019-181-BZ for a special permit to legalize a physical culture establishment at 57 Leonard Street – Resolution
I DON’T SEE HOW THIS CAN BE ANYTHING BUT Y7 YOGA STUDIO, BUT NOT SURE WHY IT IS COMING UP NOW…
2) 105 Duane Street, application for City Planning Commission Special Permit and Certification to legalize and modify the existing design of the southern plaza- Resolution
I NEVER GAVE THIS PLAZA A SECOND THOUGHT, BUT IT’S RATHER LARGE AND CERTAINLY COULD USE A SPRUCING UP, IF THAT’S WHAT THEY ARE THINKING… (IT’S THE ENTRANCE TO TRIBECA TOWERS, NEXT TO FEDEX/KINKO’S, ON THE CORNER OF BWAY).
3) Pier 17 Rooftop Access – Discussion
4) Borough Based Jails/Manhattan Detention Complex – Update
THE SAGA CONTINUES, BUT NOW THE DEPARTMENT OF CITY PLANNING HAS GIVEN ITS OK. THIS IS NOT GOOD.

9/10 YOUTH & EDUCATION COMMITTEE – 6p
Location: Community Board 1 Conference Room, 1 Centre Street, Room 2202A-North
1) Securing a play street or outdoor play space for PS1 students during construction of existing park and playground in collaboration with CB3 – Update

3) Support for Int. 0455-2018, Age limitations on school buses and replacing such school buses with all electric school buses – Discussion and possible resolution
4) “Parks over Plastic” and other programming at Manhattan Youth – Discussion
5) Dyslexia screening pilot initiative at P.S. 234 – Discussion
AS THE PARENT OF A DYSLEXIC KID WHO HAD TO LEAVE 234 IN THE THIRD GRADE BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE THE RIGHT SERVICES FOR HER (NOR WOULD THEY EVEN DIAGNOSE HER OR SAY THE WORD OUT LOUD) THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING. IF YOUR KID IS IN PUBLIC SCHOOL AND DYSLEXIC, GO TO THIS FOR SURE.

9/12 LANDMARKS & PRESERVATION COMMITTEE – 6p
Location: Community Board 1 Conference Room, 1 Centre Street, Room 2202A-North
