I'm all for it. — Marcus on The neighborhood’s camera infrastructure

Interesting question - considering what happened at the Tents & Trails building on Park Place. The current cross-bracing is complex, and new construction carries the risk of disturbing the existing nearby foundations. — Gary on Construction Update: Southeast corner of West Broadway and Warren

The crossing on the west side of the intersection of Canal and 6th Av is very long. There is a median, but there needs to be a second one north of that between east and west bound traffic. This is not in the proposal. Traffic cops only direct traffic, paying no mind to pedestrians. Many older folks have a rough time with this crossing. — Heide Fasnacht on Canal Street ranks as one of city’s deadliest

im devasted i loved nish nush :( — Nish Nush on Nish Nush has closed to make way for a new building

K sez: Will be interesting to watch how they shore up the neighboring buildings - which were tilting/falling after the initial demo so many years ago - as the construction rises — K on Construction Update: Southeast corner of West Broadway and Warren

No surprise. I've almost been run over multiple times by red-light running speeders. There should be: - speed bumps - cameras to detect speeding, red-light running, and also loud NOISE - enforcement of "don't block the box" - enforcement against blocking the crosswalks - enforcement against blocked or modified license plates - enforcement against placard abuse, which also causes traffic jams by blocking up no parking lanes and no parking hours - perhaps more expensive parking tickets (I heard a plumber say it's cheaper and more convenient to park illegally and pay the occasional parking ticket, than to pay for a parking lot space or meters...!) - tickets for non-emergency horn-honking (imagine the income!) - ticketing for loud vehicle music or loud motors - obviously enforcement over the counterfeit criminals, who have become a total menace (one pushed a neighbor of ours who had to stop on his market blanket to get through the overcrowded sidewalk, another threatened a different neighbor recently, saying "I know where you live", etc.) - new laws (as in Europe) making it illegal to buy counterfeit - obviously, actual enforcement of those new laws As for cost of all this enforcement: The tickets should surely pay for it. — Marcus on Canal Street ranks as one of city’s deadliest

It's 4,000 new units at 100 Gold St, they're estimating over 8,000 new residents. — FidiMom on Seen & Heard: Big reno for east side of Pace campus

all sorts of things could be done to the entrance/exit ramp to the Manh bridge.This is def one of the intersections that needs a four-way pedestrian crossing exchange. Maybe speed bumps or something to slow cars that floor it on the green when entering the bridge from Canal - crossing the east side of the bowery/canal intersection is a death race. Also, the entrance ramp from Bowery, driving north to the bridge, has *just a stop sign* for pedestrians to negotiage. Most cars blow though it. — jfrankp on Canal Street ranks as one of city’s deadliest

There needs to be an MTA crosstown bus route added on Canal Street. As for widening sidewalks, likely just more street vendors… — stm on Canal Street ranks as one of city’s deadliest

But there is space Wall Street and south - that should be target if building housing — stm on Seen & Heard: Big reno for east side of Pace campus

Yes I use those other subways plus bus. Do you use 2/3? The platform is already dangerous — stm on Seen & Heard: Big reno for east side of Pace campus

Relax. This building isn't in Tribeca. (Although the developer will market it as Tribeca.) — Thomas Hagen on Construction Update: 65 Franklin

Housing — Aaron CHRISTENSEN on 25 Water is now SoMA, and a lottery has begun on affordable units

No offense, but you do understand that this building is on Broadway, right? There are buildings that tall and taller on every single block down to the tip of the island. — mulciber on Construction Update: 65 Franklin

TriBeCa has always had homeless people, I worked in the area from the early 2000s to late 2010s. Actually its not far off from Downtown Brooklyn levels in terms of presence. — AJ on Encampment set up on Park Row and Beekman

to N: Agree with you completely. There was a black man named Lennie camped out on Chambers against the Medrite clinic wall (under the heat exhaust) for almost a year, living in a neat tunnel of cardboard boxes that he folded up in the morning and opened up at night. Kept his area clean. Neighbors continually brought or left him food, snacks and, in winter, warm clothes and covers. He thanked people but refused any other help, including offers to come into our lobbies to get warm and certainly offers to get him to a shelter. That winter he deteriorated slowly until someone called either the police or an ambulance. I was told within the week that Lenny had died. — jeff on Encampment set up on Park Row and Beekman

The N/R/W, 4/5/6, J/Z, and A/C lines are all within a few blocks of 100 Gold. FiDi is not only the best neighborhood in NYC (I’m somewhat of an expert on this), but also one of the most transit-accessible. The notion that 4,000 new residents will all descend upon the Fulton Street 2/3 platform simultaneously is an absurd assumption. Believe it or not, New Yorkers take different subway lines, commute at different hours, walk, bike, and even work from home. If we can’t build housing in the heart of Lower Manhattan, surrounded by some of the best transit infrastructure in the country, where exactly can we build it? Frankly, my only complaint about 100 Gold is that it doesn't go far enough. More housing, more neighbors, more FiDi. — FiDiGuy on Seen & Heard: Big reno for east side of Pace campus

I agree with you. This affects our quality of life and raising our kids in the city. I was born and raised here. I don't agree on allowing this to happen. We pay our bills, we go to work, we want a safe city. I don't see it happening with the one in office. — native on Encampment set up on Park Row and Beekman

Sharon, the man living on Reade is a tragedy. I wish he would accept help in acquiring shelter, but he seems uninterested in that. The issue of the post and most of the comments is encampments and his encampment is very different from the one described in the post. He's living on an alcove of a long closed restaurant and not blocking the sidewalk in any way with his belongings. It's not my definition of living with dignity, but the implied social contract he seems to desire is we ignore him and he ignores us. He doesn't impinge on the sidewalk in any way, unlike the encampment on Park Row did and that's the difference, not race. — N on Encampment set up on Park Row and Beekman

It sickens me when there are a couple of homeless shelters right there. Even one literally steps away from Peckslip grade school which parents won in court and the mayor allowed anyway. this is what you voted for this is what you get. Vote accordingly. We will be like California, its coming. We see it. — Native on Encampment set up on Park Row and Beekman

Yup. Username checks out. — Cd on Encampment set up on Park Row and Beekman

Relatedly, about City plans to tear down the HPD building at 100 Gold and replace with super-tall residential building… Heads up to City leadership - the 2/3 platform at Fulton Street is incredibly narrow and already over-crowded and dangerous (Amazing that people are not falling into the tracks each day) How does the City think more people (in super-tall residential) will fit on the 2/3 platform? — stm on Seen & Heard: Big reno for east side of Pace campus

The vibes of Chip and Tina at their establishment Eulalie is what's truly desired when consuming a meal. It is an artistic experience coupled with food to quench the thirst of one's soul. Yea tho I seek the aesthetics of this place and the warmth of their manner. The nourishment is kin to life, which maintain our daily building, repairing and sustains our living existence. The community be with you. Peace & Love, D Red — Ricky Gordon on Eulalie owners forced to sue their landlord

Sounds like you should go live with the loonies in Cali. Or maybe this guy in his "camp" — JR on Encampment set up on Park Row and Beekman

I completely can attest to that. We moved here from Seattle 2 years ago. My husband is a native and I lived there for 25 years. Build the home of our dreams downtown. Now it's a complete dump, our home is worth nothing, and the City continues to fall apart. We have our fingers crossed that NYC works smarter! — Karyn on Encampment set up on Park Row and Beekman
