MY LITTLE SUNSHINE CELEBRATES 10 YEARS
Tara Figotin’s curated collection of children’s clothing and toys — she also has installed haircutter Denni Weisler, who has been cutting kids hair for 35 years, in the back — turns 10 this year. That’s dog years for New York City retail.

NEW LEFT TURN LIGHT AT WEST BROADWAY & CHAMBERS
N. spotted the new left turn light on the southbound West Broadway to turn east on Chambers. It seems a little odd since there’s no left turn lane and there is a bike lane? I haven’t actually tried it out in a car… N. noted that there’s also a new one at Park Place and West Broadway. “Hopefully the Chambers one is better coordinated with the light on Chambers and Church to reduce congestion,” she added. Good point!

NEW INSTALLATION AT BROOKLYN BRIDGE PARK
If this is your regular walk, make a detour for Nicholas Galanin’s “In every language there is Land / En cada lengua hay una Tierra” on view at the Empire Fulton Ferry lawn in Brooklyn Bridge Park through fall. It’s a Robert Indiana rip-off, but made in Corten steel and at 30 feet high it’s designed to echo the US-Mexico border wall that “cut across land and water, restricting access to the migratory routes necessary for various life forms.”

DOWNTOWN ALLIANCE HONOR SAFETY OFFICERS
The Downtown Alliance honored six of its safety officers — above, Theresa Seignious, Nyeisha Als, Darrell Joseph, with Downtown Alliance president Jessica Lappin and senior vice president of operations Ron Wolfgang, Nathan Turner, and director of public safety Dave Harvin — for their outstanding service, including reuniting a lost child with their family, giving aid and assistance to a gravely injured citizen, to assisting the NYPD with making a robbery arrest.
