Fogo de Chao should be opening soon at the oculus they’ll both be competing against each other. — Downtown Girl on Work going on at the former Palm space

The speed of cars is an issue though often traffic is such that cars hardly move—and they almost always obey traffic laws. The e-bikes and Citibikes ridden at breakneck speed on sidewalks, the wrong way, and through red lights is a bigger danger. Why is the City deflecting attention to cars alone? — Karen on City to reduce speed limit for Downtown

Good question. I will ask. — Tribeca Citizen on City to reduce speed limit for Downtown

Do we think the "Lower Manhattan south of Canal" slow zone will include West Street? Crossing that street always terrifies me. — SI on City to reduce speed limit for Downtown

this is fantastic news.. thanks for doing what you do. — A Tribeca Parent on Construction at PS 234 is wrapping up

It's INSANE how long that scaffolding was up. The City is among the worst offenders when it comes to erecting scaffolding and avoiding the actual repairs. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Construction at PS 234 is wrapping up

I'm with Wilbur. TribecaMom: You don't have to like congestion pricing, but is it too much to ask that you be at least somewhat informed as to why it was proposed for the southern half of Manhattan -- we have the best transit, the most congested streets, and the wealthiest drivers (which ensures that congestion tolls paid by those who wish to continue driving can finance big, game-changing public transit infrastructure)? The reality underlying congestion pricing -- that drivers cost each other (and themselves) immense time-loss and stress by getting in each other's way -- does indeed apply to all of NYC; but most of all in lower Manhattan. Proof of concept here could have led later on to softer forms of CP in other parts of the city, benefiting them. It's a shame that potshots like your comment created a negative climate of opinion that may have led Gov Hochul to believe she could cancel the program and win political points. — Komanoff on City to reduce speed limit for Downtown

You can punch someone in the face in this city without any consequences. You really think the police will start cracking down on e-bike and traffic violations??? — Reademan on City to reduce speed limit for Downtown

Definitely this is a serious enforcement and safety issue as well. I don't get it. Why no ticketing of these reckless riders? (Hilarious - my security puzzle was "Select all images with bicycles") — Marcus on City to reduce speed limit for Downtown

Yes, I have e-bike (especially delivery) close calls practically every week but rarely with a car even though I'm extra careful to always look both ways multiple times when crossing a street with the traffic light, especially one with designated bike lane. — N on City to reduce speed limit for Downtown

If the 5WTC tower is built across the street some of those apartments will lose their views. — JPL on The Greenwich by Rafael Viñoly, wrapping up

And yet people on Citibike or racing bike or delivery bike get to do what they want when they want - and endanger pedestrians. Bicyclists get to ignore traffic rules, go through red lights, go the wrong way, ignore bike lanes. Ebikes definitely able to go faster than 10 MPH — Lisa on City to reduce speed limit for Downtown

The continued tsunami of luxurification of NYC. As others have said Dubai on the Hudson.... These folks need to pay much higher taxes — Lisa on The Greenwich by Rafael Viñoly, wrapping up

You're missing Tribeca Dental Studio on Warren street. — S on New dentist coming to Warren

Well Wilbur, did you read the entire comment? Did I mention anything about being against anything? You seem a little angry. Maybe step away from the computer. — TribecaMom on City to reduce speed limit for Downtown

Most businesses in Tribeca are run by left wing progressives and no one seems to mind. How about some diversity and inclusion and welcome some folks who are different from you? I don't share their views on religion and contraception but I respect their right to think differently. I've shopped at Hobby Lobby stores before. They will be a great addition to the neighborhood. They must have known the character of Tribeca when they signed the lease. I admire their courage in standing up to sanctimonious intolerant activists. i think the fresh air will be good for the hood. — Lowrider on Hobby Lobby, birth control and the US Supreme Court

Fascinating! I was always curious as to whether the palms were real trees or fake. Now I know. — Marcus on The Winter Garden minus its palms

Why no enforcement against distracted driving? Per Forbes: "The Main Cause of Car Accidents in NYC in 2022 Was Distracted Driving...New York has strict laws aimed at reducing distracted driving crashes. Drivers are prohibited from using any handheld electronic devices, including phones, while operating a motor vehicle." Yet a huge percentage of drivers are quite flagrantly and obviously on their devices while driving. I have NEVER seen a driver stopped or given a ticket for this reckless behaviour. — Marcus on City to reduce speed limit for Downtown

Well said. Where is the enforcement? Crossing streets feels like a life-or-death game of Frogger these days. — Marcus on City to reduce speed limit for Downtown

Lol. I give it 1. — hmm on Hobby Lobby, birth control and the US Supreme Court

As some wise guy once said "Let the artists in, there goes the neighborhood." — Geoge Bacon on Spectrum has closed on Chambers

^^^what he said^^^ You don't like a store? Don't patronize it but stop trying to impose your prejudices on others. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Hobby Lobby, birth control and the US Supreme Court

The personal attack is rude and unnecessary. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on City to reduce speed limit for Downtown

So you're upset that speed restrictions to make things safer for pedestrians and cyclists are coming to Lower Manhattan / Tribeca before other parts of the city? We need better representation so cars can continue to speed??? As someone picking the screen name of TribecaMom let me be the first to say that you seem terrible at it — Wilbur on City to reduce speed limit for Downtown

Yes, but a landlord can work within a community and their needs. Noone here needs 70,000 sq ft of blessed Made in China craft-plastic, even toddler-filled Tribeca. Perhaps something like a home depot or a nordstrom rack would have been more of service. There are ways to negotiate with retailers and create leases that would have been mutually beneficial for everyone, including the neighborhood — Hmm on Hobby Lobby, birth control and the US Supreme Court
