Great article! I can confirm this pizza is very good. My new go-to. — FiDiGuy on Spotlight: Di Fara Pizza

I completely agree... it is crazy... Let's find ways to reduce the ridiculous tunnel related congestion on the west side highway before we give away lanes OUTBOUND Fare anyone? anyone? :) — Rohin on A plan to add new bike lanes to the Westside Highway

I use the bike lanes and completely disagree with this proposal. There is no need for additional bike lines.Everyone seems to get along just fine on the two lanes we have now. I do drive every now and then and the photo of the wide open / empty West side Highway was probably taken at some ridiculously early time of day - We all know it runs pretty full - Even with Covid ongoing... I would be more interested in their finally charging toll outbound on the Holland - that would certainly cut down on all the unnecessary traffic congestion around our neighborhood. After which, with more open lanes, a bike lane proposal would make a little more sense to me. — Rohin on A plan to add new bike lanes to the Westside Highway

Oh that’s our neighbor at 56 Thomas Street #2 ❤️ — Anke Meserve on Where in Tribeca?

Not mentioned in the article or press briefing is that riders in Upper Manhattan have been asking for this for over a year from the GWB to Dyckman, or perhaps the Bronx. Unlike the lower part of the highway below the GWB, the HHP actually doesn't need its third lane based on traffic counts. It was built to be a major road but was long ago surpassed in this role by I-87, and traffic would be easily handled by two lanes. So start there, where an alternative to the very narrow and degraded bike/ped path is sorely needed (fka Riverside Drive sidewalk) and then if it goes well consider extending southward. — Inwoodite on A plan to add new bike lanes to the Westside Highway

Nice. — j. on Laughing Man now has beer and wine

So pretty and cool. I wonder where ? — j. on Where in Tribeca?

Hell no! I'm in favor of keeping the highway as is with all the lanes intact. It already takes too long with traffic to drive from downtown to 59th Street. My comment was meant as a response to Tribeca Citizen's idea to use ugly concrete Jersey barriers topped with chain link fence to create the new bike lane. Let's not muck up the city -- and let's get rid of the unsightly sidewalk dining sheds while we're at it. But, if the expansion of the bike lane does get approved, I would hope that it's built to seamlessly integrate with Hudson River Park. — Anonymous on A plan to add new bike lanes to the Westside Highway

the far left think that everyone who disagrees with them is racist homophobic. this is what maude questioned that they accused her of being a racist over: https://nypost.com/2019/07/23/forget-reading-and-math-carranza-wants-focus-on-racial-privilege-activism/ if you agree with maude's policy priorities, i suggest you vote for her. i know that i will. — josh on The Candidates 2022: Maud Maron for the 10th Congressional District

Of course, the important question is: Are there alligators in the Canal Street sewer? Inquiring minds want to know! — Marcus on A plan to add new bike lanes to the Westside Highway

That Woolworth PH is stunning and unique, but the layout is wayyy too funky and vertical to command that kind of price especially considering the easily $10-20M buildout that still needs to be done (which will take *forever*). Lack of interior elevator/useless outdoor space really kill it from a livability standpoint and as the price keeps falling that >$500k/yr taxes & maintenance starts looking like real money. Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see it go under $20M. — person on Seen & Heard: Woolworth spire penthouse is relisted

People who have complained about e-bikes in bike lanes should be proud that the DoT have responded with a solution! Banning or policing e-bikes and scooters is not realistic. There’s a lot of focus on delivery bikes, but a growing number of NY citizens switching from cars and subways to e-vehicles. E.g., I’ve seen a lot of parents with young kids on e-scooters recently. Are you proposing they go on the road? What I love about NY is that it responds adapts to cultural trends. It’s a great solution to have a dedicated lane of the west side Highway. — JP on A plan to add new bike lanes to the Westside Highway

Too late. :-) "In about 1811, the city enlarged Rutgers’ ditch [asking Canal Street]and lined it—first with planks, and later with stone—to better drain the area. This was effectively an open sewer, and theslow-moving water stank. Around 1819 it was replaced with a covered, brick-arched tunnel, which was buried beneath the street to become the city’s first enclosed sewer."

That statement ignores a lot of reality. Even the world swimming body could see the inherent unfairness in biological women competing against biological men in athletics.

I like the idea of getting rid of the West Side Highway. Also it's time to convert Canal Street back into an actual canal. We could even have Venetian gondolas. And freight trains back on the high line to reduce truck traffic in the city. And I'm only half-joking. — Marcus on A plan to add new bike lanes to the Westside Highway

Enjoyed my dinner at Casa Carmen when they first opened (especially their handcrafted cocktails and the vessels they serve them in!) and loved visiting Marc Forgione's Peasant to celebrate a friend's bday (the food and service were great!). I've walked-by Carne Mare in the Seaport, but perhaps it's time for a surf and turf taste-test. If it's anything like Andrew Carmellini's other restaurants, I have no doubt it will be impressive. Please consider supporting our downtown restaurants whenever you can. — Franklin Foodie on In the News: Best rooftop bars in the city

As a long time foodie, I long for the return of David Bouley! Many, many experiences in all of his endeavors. Ever since my initial experience on Duane Street , (I can almost smell those apples now in the foyer), where I remember writing on a comment card that I thought I could have asked for the moon and they would have found a way to put it on my table, I have found absolutely no one to come close to "Sir David". Simply the best! Please, please, please....ua comeback is indeed needed! Make NYC restaurants great again!!! — John Leon Covil on David Bouley is coming back to Tribeca

You think a highway adds to the design elements of HRP? You can’t be so you must be advocating to get rid of it completely. — Y on A plan to add new bike lanes to the Westside Highway

Do you really think it's as simple as slapping up some ugly concrete barriers in the West Side Highway to create another bike lane? In my opinion that would create an eyesore and detract from the design planning that went into Hudson River Park. It's bad enough to have the concrete blocks on the existing bike path. If we're going to create an expanded bike lane, I think it needs to be done right and be cohesive with the existing bike lane. — Anonymous on A plan to add new bike lanes to the Westside Highway

I also ride everyday on the bike path. and agree it is never crowded. SO don't understand why they want to put lanes on highway. Plus don't thing the bikers would even go on the highway, they would have to stop for red lights and slow down. Something they don't do on the path. — t on A plan to add new bike lanes to the Westside Highway

Think about the horrors that taking away one lane of traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge and giving it to bikes and scooters has wrought. Oh wait, nothing happened except cyclists and pedestrians got a better and safer way to cross. The same would happen on the WSH. Wait until someone proposes getting rid of WSH entirely. Heads will explode on here. — Asa Nine on A plan to add new bike lanes to the Westside Highway

Of course, I strongly agree that traffic laws need to be enforced, for everyone. It's a hazard to step outside our building door these days, without getting hit by a bike or e-bike on the sidewalk; the speeding and red-light running of vehicles has also become a "pandemic" in itself.
