Looks terrific. — Will on A glimpse at 250 Church aka 101 Franklin

We definitely need to enforce traffic laws. As you note, blocking the box is a big one, and I would also add: license plate covers, illegal temporary tags, and placard abuse. Illegal parking (often by police or people in government) drives me absolutely nuts. We aren't living in a society when it's rules for thee, not for me. As for CP: I understand the need for simplicity just to get it going and to create facts on the ground. As an evolution, I favor variable pricing (e.g., for gridlock days, UNGA, holiday weekends) with the floor higher than the current $9. With a round-trip subway fare now $6, I think the marginal cost for a driver needs to be steeper than $3; it's of course cheaper to drive with two or more people paying fares. — malcolm on Congestion Pricing survives the latest challenge

Glad to hear this. More needs to be done about traffic still, including simple enforcement of basic traffic laws (which shouldn't even need to be enforced, and should be simple common sense and courtesy as well, but here we are in street anarchy). Surely one of the major causes of congestion is "blocking the box" (blocking intersection on a red light), which is also awful and dangerous for pedestrians. Also will NYC ever enforce no-honking laws? I've actually heard politicians argue that people would miss the sound of car and truck horns, that it's part of the identity of NYC. That sounds like madness to me. I guess litter and public urination are also part of the "identity" of NYC so we should celebrate and appreciate those too. — Marcus on Congestion Pricing survives the latest challenge

They forgot to show the perpetual for-rent signs in the street-level retail. — Noah on A glimpse at 250 Church aka 101 Franklin

I'm late to the party but I've often wondered if the 443 owners know that the industrial-era wood beams that adorn their surroundings are likely faux? The building harvested all of the highly valued Southern Pine before building out the luxury condos. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/22/nyregion/salvaging-a-long-lasting-wood-and-new-york-citys-past.html?unlocked_article_code=1.S1A.sBTF.bkiRa2-Jf5NH&smid=url-share — citypixie on Condo owners at 443 Greenwich have been suing developer for years

If the developer is granted any variances in exchange for improvements, the developer ought to be forced to put enough money in escrow with NYC to do the work. Once burned, twice shy. — James Bogardus on A glimpse at 250 Church aka 101 Franklin

Love this. Hopefully it doesn't get scratched or modified due to red-tape. — Randy on A glimpse at 250 Church aka 101 Franklin

Love this design and what a great building for residential conversion. Relatively small floorplates and western views over the ConEd substation should ensure lots of natural light. Hope it’s financially viable so we see more like this! — CG on A glimpse at 250 Church aka 101 Franklin

This design continues Tribeca's masonry tradition that Mr. Harris mentioned. It is certainly an improvement over the bland yellowish brick of the original office structure. The varied window designs give the fenestration variety without appearing whimsical. And the setbacks (terraces?) and what appears to be a street-level arcade also add interest. I prefer this design (and usage) to the replacement office building floated some time ago. The new 250 Church Street/101 Franklin's renderings show a desirable solidness, with a maximum height similar to many of Tribeca's older buildings. I don't expect that the height would garner criticism, especially with unconventional neighboring buildings such as the fortress-like AT&T Long Lines, and the stacked-boxcar Jenga tower across the street. I hope that City Planning approves this design. — Gary on A glimpse at 250 Church aka 101 Franklin

Having started my career at Citigroup in 1983 a friend convinced me to purchase a loft in 1985 there was very little development back then those were the days of endless nights at Montrachet wonderful times having met Mr Deniro & having invested in Tribeca Grill sadly closed In 1990 I left for CT to start a family now with the kids on their own & the ex going her own way its only fitting to return I am glad on held on to my loft all these years Looking forward to returning in the Spring & curious to see if some of old time resident s remain See You Soon & I wish everyone the Best Gerry Post. — Gerry Post on The Smith & Mills and Yves building has sold

JR Where is the beautiful MAXWELLS PLUM bar going to go…. — Judith R on Bidding for a piece of Tribeca restaurant history

Maybe they shouldn't have set the minimum at 2000 dollars! — Mr T on Bidding for a piece of Tribeca restaurant history

Just a wee tad……… — Francesco on Rooftop addition proposed for historic building at Greenwich and N. Moore

Very disappointing but not surprising. Personally I find it a terrible decision - Gigino was a staple and quite a good one. I guess one of many poor decisions coming down for this city. Their menu reads like a food truck. Someone paid the right person I guess. Sad for the city the neighborhood and the park. — Nick on Wagner Park restaurant goes to a Queens company that operates The Migrant Kitchen

There is no way this building gets a TCO in May. They will be lucky to finish by the end of the year. — Reademan on Sneak Peek: 14 White

What's the point of this? Do you have something of substance to say about the program that was funded, or do you just want to spew hate and paint an incredibly broad brush about a bunch of young people? — malcolm on Seen & Heard: Grant for BMCC from Dan Goldman

I send the press guy an email every three months or so, since an alarm seems to go off in my head. — Tribeca Citizen on Community Board meetings for March

She was a treasure. Great vet! She loved our dog and was such a nice person. — Troy on Ivy Pets (Tribeca Veterinary Wellness) has closed permanently

What’s most ironic about this complaint is that condo inventory in Tribeca is currently at its lowest level in about 15 years, so if anything there is a shortage of luxury housing in Tribeca right now. — Reademan on Plans submitted for a residential building at 250 Church

Dr. Berg was amazing in every way, so it's sad to see it end this way. It looked like Dr. Mohr, another great vet, was going to take over the practice, but alas it went to Ivy and it was obvious from the first visit that it would end this way. The place went from being run by possibly the best practitioner on the planet, to suitable only for routine matters, to something where the desperation to keep the lights on was so obvious that it was pathetic. — Talg on Ivy Pets (Tribeca Veterinary Wellness) has closed permanently

I vote YES for the Warren Street Hotel to add 2900 square feet of space. Since the hotel opened I feel safer walking on Warren Street. Guests of the hotel do eat some meals at nearby restaurants. This greatly helps our local economy. — Warren Resident on The Warren Street Hotel wants to add another floor to its roof

1. Tribeca also has the least amount of affordable supermarkets, restaurants, clothing stores, etc. in all of New York. Why is adding affordable housing to such a neighborhood sensible for people with incomes such that they need affordable housing, i.e., housing with rents based on a certain citywide wage level? 2. "Should" is a judgemental, weasel word. If one's argument relies on should, one has lost the argument. 3. Did 105 Duane 80/20 leases expire because the associated tax benefits granted in exchange to the owner also expired? If so, the City got what it paid for. Given the costs of land, materials, labor, which are all inflated by demand and excessive regulation, who is going to pay to build affordable housing without economic incentives? 4. A glut of luxury apartments means lower rents, unless NYC has repealed the laws of supply and demand, right? Losses on unrented luxury apartments are the risk developers take in a free market economy, even if that term applies only loosely to NYC. — James Bogardus on Plans submitted for a residential building at 250 Church

Is there anything else we can give you while you have your hand out begging for us to pay your rent? — Talg on Plans submitted for a residential building at 250 Church

Tribeca has the least amount of affordable housing in all of New York. This building should be 💯 % affordable, especially since 105 Duane 80/20 leases have largely expired. We have a glut of luxury apts. — Jean Grillo on Plans submitted for a residential building at 250 Church

Hi. Is thrre any newd on the huge tower proposal for Jay and Greenwich? — Martine on Community Board meetings for March
