This makes absolutely no sense at all!!! I have tweeted a few times at city officials calling their attention on this... im sorry but no... so this can open but schools are cant? cant wait for all indoor to shut down again.. — Rich on Nosy Neighbor: Is New York Dolls a bar? a restaurant? a museum?
I think the complaint about the un-broken wall of docks, was that once you park your bike you are forced to either walk in the street, or jay walk to cross to a side walk. It’s just a bad design. IMO there should be side walk access every 20 docks. — Patrick Rice on Citi Bike is expanding in all sorts of directions
Is anyone in BMCC security monitoring the cameras in real time. Apparently not. — Makes You Go "Hmm-m-m" on Tennis court net is cut down in dark of night
Wrong. Why discriminate against a 3 decade old local business if they are following CDC protocols? I know plenty of restaurant owners that have done nothing to enhance their HVAC systems at all. These places are also much less crowded then a traditional restaurant at 6pm. — Rick on Nosy Neighbor: Is New York Dolls a bar? a restaurant? a museum?
Dear Tribeca residents and families: Tribeca Citizen helped raise awareness by flagging this. However, please be aware of additional critical points beyond lost parking discussed with CB1 on 11/23 at its 6pm meeting (to no avail given cargo bike parking was installed 11/24 at 8am): 1)SAFETY - Warren Street has heavy pedestrian and school traffic from 2 elementary schools+community center+ball field. Also, personnel cannot load bikes without cutting across sidewalk traffice in perpendicular fashion with their heavy carts. The next few months are unlikely to fully demonstrate the danger given many families have left, but this is a serious issue. 2)THERE ARE SAFER STREET OPTIONS - Amazon/WF had 3 other street options, including Murray Street which has a formal loading dock where this can be executed properly and SAFELY (for pedestrians and personnel). An objective to reduce carbon emission is great, however onous is on the company (Amazon/WF) to do this without endangering pedestrians and personnel. 3)LACK OF DUE PROCESS - There is heavy opposition from Tribeca community residents, Downtown Community Center and staff/families of two elementary school (P.S. 234 and P.S. 89) to install the cargo bike parking on Warren Street given significant safety concerns on also already busy street, and yet Dept of Transportation claims no opposition was raised in their "survey." This is not possible, just check out the replay from the CB1 meeting on 11/23. There is zero evidence of any proper survey and the community and residents deserve to be treated fairly and have a true voice in the process. If you share all or any of these concerns, please communicate your concerns and opposition to the following: Whole Foods (phyllis.tritto@wholefoods.com) cfung@council.nyc.gov gbrewer@manhattanbp.nyc.gov Chin@council.nyc.gov jerrold.nadler@mail.house.gov epincar@dot.nyc.gov jstaines@dot.nyc.gov jleung@dot.nyc.gov mcarrion@cityhall.nyc.gov speakerjohnson@council.nyc.gov gli@council.nyc.gov action@comptroller.nyc.gov lureynolds@cb.nyc.gov man01@cb.nyc.gov — Tribeca_resident_parent on CB1 rejected cargo bike parking alongside Whole Foods
Thanks DeeDee you are right - we all have to be vigilant about these dangerous conditions. I have written to Chin, DiBlasio, First Precinct and the Hudson River Group - without any response. Will persist... — Kathy on CB1 rejected cargo bike parking alongside Whole Foods
Smith & Mills, North Moore Street. — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca?
Yes, you are correct. This was a truck loading zone 7a to 6p, Monday to Friday. — Tribeca Citizen on CB1 rejected cargo bike parking alongside Whole Foods
In the post I linked to the nyc.gov site and noted that even the week before the rates were below 1 percent. They do change regularly since it is a 7-day average. Your numbers are not correct as of today and frankly I don't think your number was correct on the 26th either. You can check yourself right now. — Tribeca Citizen on Where we are on the virus
He is a nothing of a state Senator. Handed his seat on a backroom literally in 2018. He should be primaried in 2022 if only so he has to show his face in public. TheIy're all corporate suckups. — Kavanaugh is a joke on CB1 rejected cargo bike parking alongside Whole Foods
Please reach out to our local elected officials and ask them to take action. I have, but we need more voices in order to be heard: niouy@nyassembly.gov GlickD@nyassembly.gov kavanagh@nysenate.gov chin@council.nyc.gov — DeeDee on CB1 rejected cargo bike parking alongside Whole Foods
It's not just the Whole Foods delivery people, it's the Postmates and Caviar and other delivery folks too. I agree, they should be ticketed in increasing amounts for each violation. I have written to Margaret Chin, Yuh-Line Niou, Deborah Glick, and Brian Kavanaugh - no response from any of them. — DeeDee on CB1 rejected cargo bike parking alongside Whole Foods
It's none of those, it's a nightclub. A gym can't reopen but this joint can pssshhhhh. Just what a neighborhood with a 3% infection rate needs: a strip club where the masked, socially distanced dancers still emit aerosols via body sweat. ' Love the selective enforcement. This is the last place which should reopen. — Nona D.Above on Nosy Neighbor: Is New York Dolls a bar? a restaurant? a museum?
Pam, it is we who should be thanking you. I have always appreciated and lauded your efforts but this year, with everything topsy-turvey you have been one of the few constants. You are a champion of Tribeca be it people, culture, food, retail, local government affairs, and weekend get-away adventures you share as a neighbor. At least once a week I forward one of your articles to a friend, or tell my husband a bit of local news and he always smiles and says “Tribeca Citizen?” and I always respond, “of course, where else?” On a personal note, thank you for your help when I have reached out looking for a photo or just sharing your memories of the Culinary Institute. So I am giving thanks to you and your work (yes, readers, this takes a lot of work). Giving thanks to you for allowing both the lovers and the haters to comment (we cannot combat hate we cannot see) and your reporting which is unbiased but authentically opinionated (which allows us to relate and engage whether we agree or not). And lastly, yes, thanks to your advertisers who enable you to continue providing all of us with the Tribeca Citizen. Peace, love and good health to you and your family. Peter — TheBlackSquirrel on Happy Thanksgiving to all, and of course, thanks
Can confirm where you’ve received this info and make sure it is specific and accurate. The latest Covid Nyc government by zip code map as Nov.26th reports zip code 1007 at 1.3% not 3 percent. If you go directly to the www1.nyc.gov you can see the accurate number. It’s dangerous and harmful to local businesses schools and the community at large to report something that is not accurate. Can you please re-publish the accurate numbers. Thank you. — JC on Where we are on the virus
The electric bikes and scooters are a big problem. All should have license plates and be registered so that there is some kind of accountably. The Hudson River bike path has turned into a dangerous road because of them. I have even encountered Revel scooters on this path that is not designated for motor powered vehicles of any type. There is no enforcement of this rule and these vehicles speed along this path as they feel they are entitled to do so and that there are no consequences for doing so. First precinct does nothing and the Hudson River park police are nowhere to be found. Not even going to address the constant electric bikes on the streets dangers in this response... — Kathy on CB1 rejected cargo bike parking alongside Whole Foods
It is nice to be important but more important to be nice. Not necessary Ann. Happy Holidays. — TG on In the News: 456 Greenwich on track for April 2022
If I’m understanding this correctly, and I may not be, this area was previously used for delivery trucks and vans, and now it will be restricted to cargo bikes (and other bikes), and is also supposed to eliminate the use of the sidewalk for loading carts. Doesn’t sound so bad to me! And don’t forgot that those trucks and vans were so noisy, beeping when they backed up, which went on all day long. Keeping an open mind. And dare I say that I love the convenience of Amazon, and do not resent them just because they are making money! They have been an amazing resource, especially during the pandemic. So there I’ve said it. I’m an Amazon fan! — SW on CB1 rejected cargo bike parking alongside Whole Foods
Very helpful information - Thank you — GR on Where we are on the virus
We're so excited to announce we have sponsors for 260 children and seniors so far this year. We began 11 years ago with a handful of residents at 15 Broad Street and it's grown bigger every year. Neighbors, you can shop from the comfort of your own homes and have it delivered to us if that makes things easier and safer. Please email 15BroadAngelTree@gmail.com for more information or to sign up to sponsor a holiday wish list. Thank you! — Lissa Hussian on Seen & Heard: Angels at 15 Broad
Thank you — PATRICK Valentino on Happy Thanksgiving to all, and of course, thanks
Thanks so much Pam. You certainly do a great job in keeping the neighborhood together when things elsewhere are fracturing. I think you help local businesses by keeping us aware of them and also pointing out those things which we may miss. It is a great service and i am sure it takes quite a lot of work. Take care, stay safe and keep on posting!! — Bob on Happy Thanksgiving to all, and of course, thanks
Thank you Pam for carrying on and continuing to make us feel knit together in our wonderful community. — SW on Happy Thanksgiving to all, and of course, thanks
I can also recommend My Wagging Gang NYC, a small dog walking service in Tribeca. The owner, Magda, is wonderful. I've used their services for my puppy Luna. She loves them! It's a great way to exercise your dog and support a small local company. Phone: 646.220.6393 — MME on 2020 Shop-Local Gift Guide: Pets!
Indeed. Cheers! — Tribeca Citizen on Happy Thanksgiving to all, and of course, thanks
