It’s time once again to pick through the preliminary agendas for the monthly CB1 committee meetings. They’re subject to change, so if an issue is important to you, check here before heading off to the meeting. My comments are underlined. (If you only care about Tribeca, scroll down to the photo.)

9/4 Battery Park City Committee – 5:30 PM
• Tour of the Regatta – Composting facility and electric car station. Meet at 75 Battery Place, outside the Battery Park City Parks Conservancy office

9/4 Battery Park City Committee – 6:00 PM
Location: The Regatta (Tour at 5:30 p.m.), 21 South End Avenue, Conference Room
• Route 9A Status Update – NYS DOT (invited)
• Accident at Irish Hunger Memorial – Discussion Crossing guards! Traffic lights!
• Asphalt Green – Battery Park City Authority OK, people: This is the place to protest. I’m not sure CB1 has any sway over the BPCA, but local unhappiness seeps upward, toward the politicians who can do something about it. The fact that the meeting is at the Regatta—in south Battery Park City—is less than ideal, of course.

• 443 – 453 Greenwich Street, application for renewal of a Section 74-711 Special Permit for residential, transient hotel and health club use for existing seven story building with proposed one-story addition – Resolution And here’s the major news! 443 Greenwich is the mega building between Desbrosses and Vestry (pictured at the top of this post), and I floated the rumor a while back that it was indeed becoming a hotel (or possible a hotel/condo hybrid). The interesting wrinkle is the “health club” part of the agenda item, although for all I know any business with a pool might need such an approval.

Could they really be opening a restaurant in the space formerly home to Matsugen and 66? Or is just a name overlap? (I’ll call Tuesday morning….)
