File the 311 and then call Mayor's office and CIty Council Margaret Chin's office to complain further because they need to back up the community! In July CB1 spoke out about all of these areas which I suspect is why the sidewalks around City Hall were reopened the next day instead of walking in the bike lanes and streets. — Ak on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks

Hooray for Tribeca's Kitchen! — madeline c lanciani on Seen & Heard: Dancing in Rockefeller Park

agree with Julie and Will — madeline c lanciani on Locanda Verde is going whole hog on curbside dining

sorry mark- but the citibike stand on Duane Street IS causing undue hardship for the Hideaway and for Tokyo Bay- they cannot put tables in the sidewalk -it is too narrow. if we concerned citizens and supporter of all our local businesses- and i mean me (a citibike user)and others- cannot get the stand moved to Greenwich, neither the Hideaway or Tokyo Bay will make it. as for the traffic on greenwich- there really is not much and the cutaway in front of the old Food Emporium space is the perfect place for a fleet of bikes — madeline lanciani on Locanda Verde is going whole hog on curbside dining

Where are our representatives? Community Board, City Council, Borough President? They could do something about this but they haven't. — Bec on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks

I completely agree that City Hall needs to be open to the public! Yesterday morning, Saturday 8/9 there were no less than 50 officers lining the barricades around City Hall and City Hall park. When asked how I could gain access to the 6 train, most of them did not even know what I was talking about? That is stunning, how can they not have the slightest familiarity with the neighborhood they are policing? I literally asked 8 police officers before one of them directed me to the 1 Center Street location and said "Maybe you can get in there?" Honestly. The park and the thoroughfares need to be opened immediately. How do we instigate a movement for opening the area? — Linda Secondari on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks

Ah! Thanks. Weird that they had that eviction note on their door... — Tribeca Citizen on Le Pain Quotidien is back open, defying rumors

They are waiting till after Labor Day. — Tribeca Citizen on Recent Openings around the neighborhood (or a bit beyond)

The NYPD still blocking off Ericsson Place in front of the First Precinct for two months, since at least June 4, to all traffic — even that on foot is ridiculous. They also seem to be taking a vacation since there are no less than 10 of them there doing nothing! — Toni on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks

Welcome to the neighborhood. Beautiful story, beautiful family. and a great idea. Life goes on — Lance Lappin on Made in Tribeca: Island Ice NYC

I make it a point to go up to the police officers around Erricson Place and ask them why they're not wearing masks. I always get the same answer: "We aren't required to." — Chiara Coletti on Why aren’t officers wearing masks?

Welcome back PQ!! — EA on Le Pain Quotidien is back open, defying rumors

Alas, yes, watching all those cops standing around each day chatting and earning overtime while the beauty of City Hall Park sits, languishing. Incredibly frustrating, both to me and my little Yorkie, Sylvia. — Will Meyerhofer on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks

The police officers currently there doing nothing could very easily make sure the park and surrounding areas are not taken back by protestors. It made sense to close it all for a few days after they cleaned it up, but at this point it’s useless. You can’t close public spaces just because you think they can come back. — Richard on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks

The police for most part do not wear masks. It is not political as some are saying. It is just stupid. — perry Rothenberg on Why aren’t officers wearing masks?

I couldn’t agree more. There is absolutely NO reason for them to keep City Hall Park closed (and the areas around it). They can open it to the public and still use those officers standing/sitting there doing nothing to make sure no one sets camp there again. And speaking of closing streets, not happy with that, they have decided streets around City Hall are now their parking lot. Barclay St is now full of “official business nypd” cars parked, including blocking the entrance of residencial buildings like Barclay Tower. Tried calling 311 (only to have a car open and closed in 30 min nothing done), tweeting does nothing either. I was able to get in touch with someone from Councilwoman Chin’s team and they were able to have 1st precinct move the car away from 10 Barclay entrance only to have them do it again today. This is a total abuse of power by the NYPD. We need that park open and our streets returned to us... public transit with working ok so there is no reason why suddenly it’s all a NYPD parking lot. If we the citizens have to abide by the rules, so should they. I’m willing to start some official point of contact to address all this with our elected officials and the NyPd. Enough is enough ! — Richard on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks

The closure of two lanes of 6th Avenue and West Broadway between Lispenard and Canal seems to be pointless at this time. This entire area needs to be reconsidered by the DOT. The parking for cars from TD-2 is out of control. These cars have commandeered the west side of West Broadway and jump the curb to park. This narrows the sidewalk on this block considerably and is a constant eyesore. — Don on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks

I do not believe that is what A meant. We get the police force we deserve through inaction and rhetoric. It takes three years to become a police officer in Germany and a cop first goes out on the beat in NYC at 11 weeks. They receive virtually no training on mental illness. Dinkens who hired the 6000 new police officers Giuliani gets the credit for and was crucified for trying to pass a oversight mandate. It is good to see more women and POC in uniform to be sure but our force needs better training which I believe will help root out more racist cops. We the tax payer should not be beaten while expressing our first amendment rights in a passionate non violent manner. — TG on Why aren’t officers wearing masks?

Welcome to TriBeCa! Best of luck on your new delicious venture. — TG on Made in Tribeca: Island Ice NYC

There is no need to move the Citibike on Duane. It is actively used and having people get on/off bikes on Greenwich in heavier traffic is just dangerous. The bike stands are not causing problems for any establishment. — mark on Locanda Verde is going whole hog on curbside dining

Can we just give the police a break? It is 90 degrees with 90 percent humidity. Why are we so hard on them? They are out there trying to keep us safe and keep NYC functioning. This just seems like piling on. — A2 on Why aren’t officers wearing masks?

Any news of the Square Diner? — Bob on Recent Openings around the neighborhood (or a bit beyond)

I’ve lodged many complaints with 311 about the street closures and blocked park access. Dozens of police standing around watching pigeons is not a good use of our dwindling city funds. Additionally, blocking off a green space and access to the 4/5/6 trains is extremely disruptive. Any advice on whom else to call? — Chelsea on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks

The Gateway one re-opened last week. — Hudson River on Le Pain Quotidien is back open, defying rumors

Yes to Park Row, and (it's not Tribeca but) Zuccotti Park is still barricaded, and the barricade around the 9/11 memorial makes even less sense--the barriers are several feet into the pedestrian sidewalks around the memorial and it's very crowded on the Liberty Street side. — Hudson River on Time to liberate the neighborhood’s sidewalks
