What was not addressed in the meeting was the fact that there must be a large bus/van/truck outside the facility 24/7 to take any resident to the hospital for emergency treatment. There is no space on William St for such a structure. Our deliveries will be disrupted, firetrucks and ambulances that need egress on William will have difficulty getting down the street. What disturbs me are two points: 1. These homeless people have been bounced from one location to another. It's not in their best interest and disturbs any type of rehab they might be involved with. HAS ANYONE CONTACTED THE ACLU ABOUT THIS???? Since DiBlasio has taken it upon himself to once again shuffle homeless people unnecesarily (remember the 'beautiful homes' in Jersey he sent families to that were uninhabitable????), someone should contact the ACLU and have them fight DiBlasio's rouge actions against the homeless. 2. Since the subways have been emptied overnight, the homeless that normally sleep there have been out on the streets. There are 2 men in particular, less than 50ft from the door of the Radisson who sleep stretched out on Wall St and also William St like the sidewalk is a queen-sized bed. If DiBlasio cannot place the people already on the street and manage this, how will we manage another 200+? — 15 Broad on Residents and CB1 sound off on homeless shelter for Fidi
every damn place is gone in tribeca that is awesome...why even stay here anymore...all storefronts empty. any good food gone, no hardware store really, no supermarket but one damn overpriced one, no good chinese food anywere, no bike store, no nothing.....totally nuts what is happening. RIP SOL Capri...go damn...I am so mad — adam glassman on Sole di Capri has closed
this is beyond sad...loved this place - part of our family routine! Without some type of commercial rent forgiveness - we will lose almost all of our great little places. — Tammy on Sole di Capri has closed
The last few months, I have been taking my “clean” compostables to the East River Park Compost Yard, over by Corlears Hook Park. It is sponsored by the Lower East Side Ecology Center, and their drop boxes are open 24/7 if you feel the urge for a nice bike ride off hours- there is a Citibike station at the park entrance on Cherry Street. But still great that we will also have a neighborhood option again. — Robert Ripps on The return of composting to downtown
To report correctly on this, it should be noted... 1. Why is the upper west side suing the city to move them? An answer to this basic question was not given, as far as I heard on the 2 hour call. If they were behaving well, this, I’m assuming, would not be the case. Also they have apparently private donations available to them on the upper west side which they will not downtown. So again, why the move? My friend who lives in the upper west side stated she has seen these individuals having sex outside the hotel and other acts not deemed normal in a public place. 2. Also, if all of these 235 men are just homeless and require housing then why is there a need for 25 security guards in any one shift—seems alarming, no? 3. Lastly, there has been no thought from the city as to where these men will congregate...with 11 schools within 1 mile and 3 on the same block and Fosun Plaza across the street where kids often congregate, it seems like a basic question. They advised there are no sex offenders on the call but Jocelyn seemed to glaze over the topic. — Lorena on Residents and CB1 sound off on homeless shelter for Fidi
YAHHHHHHHH! — Victoria Lynn Harmon on The return of composting to downtown
I am very sorry to hear this news. This was the only “real” restaurant in Tribeca. Great food, reasonable prices, down to earth staff & all of the old charm of the lost NYC. — Kathy on Sole di Capri has closed
Eddie made hands down the best pasta this side of Amalfi. This is so sad, Eddie -- we miss you already — Mark Fortner on Sole di Capri has closed
I can't figure it out via Google and they are hard to reach, but I will post it when I learn. — Tribeca Citizen on Sole di Capri has closed
DeBlasio continues his crusade to destroy downtown New York as Margaret Chin stands idly by and cheers. First there was the Chinatown/Tribeca Mega Prison tower, then they try to sneak in in the homeless that are being moving only because the City was being sued and now he wants to rezone SOHO & NOHO to build skyscrapers to add another 3,200 apartments. DeBlasio doesn't care and is the worst Mayor. — Adam on Residents and CB1 sound off on homeless shelter for Fidi
Agreed, we always enjoyed eating there. What's their restaurant in Huntington? — person on Sole di Capri has closed
Sorry to hear this. Sole di Capri was our favorite place. Wishing Eduardo all the best with his future plans. — Makes You Go "Hmm-m-m" on Sole di Capri has closed
We really loved that place and the staff was so nice. They always recognized us out of the restaurant too. We often took out of town guests there. Their outdoor dining space was so beautiful. Their indoor space would be very small for Covid times. This is very sad to hear. — JC on Sole di Capri has closed
I'm glad someone is taking the space but was holding out hope for something like Westside Market or Garden of Eden so we could pick up prepared foods, sandwiches, and fill in groceries. — Disappointed on Cocoon is moving forward in Best Market space
I was on that call last week. The community was blindsided by the Mayor. They are suppose to give at least 30 to discuss with the community board and did not. The community has enough homeless in hotels downtown. They crime downtown is very high. This article is not giving all the details of the discussion. — downtown on Residents and CB1 sound off on homeless shelter for Fidi
I'm so happy to hear this! Thank you, Pam. — Resident on The return of composting to downtown
This is great news, Pam. Much more convenient than weekly biking my stack of big plastic containers to Union Square. Thanks for making my day! — Komanoff on The return of composting to downtown
Can't "prioritize" this? Cuz they're fighting what crime in TriBeCa? They sure as he'll haven't done their job with the holdup and shooting a month apart on Franklin Street. First Precinct wants to do nothing or as little as possible. They love their cozy assignment. They love hanging out at the barricade they put up for what? at West Broadway and Lisperbard, love the new free parking lot they created there. — NYPDo Nothings on “It feels like being at Burning Man in your living room.”
BS they are advertising to the public so illegal. Also wayyy more than 50 people. On the street too. But keep shilling for them guy. — take a hike TriBeCa Mike on “It feels like being at Burning Man in your living room.”

Garbage politics at every level. Vote these people out, every last one of them. Then throw Deblasio's wife in jail for stealing 1 billion+ from the taxpayers for her bullshit "Thrive" project. — Flip It Red on Neighbors prepare to fight the expansion of a homeless shelter in Fidi
Really sad about TK having to close after all of this. What a mess. Grrrr — PATRICK Valentino on Seen & Heard: Are you kidding me?
“ Many people on the call seemed to welcome a family shelter — one that accepts children — but Carter noted that the Radisson does not have kitchens and therefore cannot accommodate “ So, they chose a building and overlooked a basic necessity for families? There’s more to the plan than what people are led to believe. This need to house homeless men with addiction and mental issues, across Manhattan is an awful idea / practice. Spread out to upstate with open spaces and nature, please. — Toms on Residents and CB1 sound off on homeless shelter for Fidi
I wonder if the folks going to the open houses today and tomorrow read TC....they should — DB on “It feels like being at Burning Man in your living room.”
