When I posted Yvonne Babineaux’s photos of Tribeca in the 1980s, I promised I’d go out and take “now” shots for comparison’s sake. Here’s the sixth batch.
Previously:
••• Tribeca Then and Now #1: W. Broadway and Duane
••• Tribeca Then and Now #2: Staple, Jay, Harrison, and Hudson
••• Tribeca Then and Now #3: Leonard, Varick, Franklin, N. Moore, and Hudson
••• Tribeca Then and Now #4: Hudson, Holland Tunnel, and Broome
••• Tribeca Then and Now #5: Hubert, Collister, and Greenwich
Thanks again to Yvonne for letting me run her photos, and thanks to the readers who helped figure out where the photos were taken.

434 GREENWICH (SOUTHWEST CORNER OF VESTRY)
Nice to see these side by side comparisons! Having walked these blocks for over 35 years of with my borzoi hounds I can appreciate many of the improvements. In particular the addition of traffic controls at these corners was something we worked hard to get from NYC DOT… but only after numerous fatal motor vehicle accidents. There are still many corners around Greenwich Street south of Canal that have no traffic controls!
