  • Lamont, citizen of the month does not adequately the vast impact you have had on our community and our children. You helped raise my two boys, now young men. The old African proverb said it best, It takes a village." You, sir, bring that statement to life each and every day and with each and every child under your care. I could not thank you, and love you any more for all you do for our kids, and mine, in particular! Congratulations on this honor! — BILL MARTINO on Citizen of the Month: Lamont Williams

  • It's the season.....Last May, I witnessed a bird falling on middle of the sidewalk after hitting a newly washed window, on Park Place. The stunned little creature landed flapping. As I looked for some cardboard to move it to the side a woman on her phone, (picture phone in hand held in front of her face oblivious to anything else), stepped on it, without even noticing that soft little creature under foot, and there was the immediate demise of a little creature. It was a Vireo, sort of green and golden. — neighbor on Seen & Heard: Danny was ill, but is recovering

  • Coach Lamont! A very well deserved citizen of the month, if not the year! Congrats, Bo — Bo Feely on Citizen of the Month: Lamont Williams

  • Tobi says it will be a shame if we have offices at Piers 40, 57 and 76. Well, Pier 57 is a landmark structure, and a very narrow pier, and office space was a perfect fit for that. In exchange we are getting a lot of public open space on the pier, rehearsal spaces for arts groups, tech education spaces, environmental education spaces, a new home for City Winery and a rooftop park (which will be used by Tribeca Film Festival each April for outdoor screenings). It was a tradeoff the community was willing to make and will generate significant income for the Park. Pier 76 is now the NYC tow pound and an NYPD maintenance garage. Not exactly a wonderful park use. If we can change that and make Pier 76 primarily park space (and it is wide enough for fields) with an office building adjoining it, that is a vast improvement over the current use. Of course, both Pier 57 and Pier 76 are in the area served by Community Board 4. Pier 40 is the only major pier outside CB4 that is designated as an income producing pier for the park. But it seems like CB2 is unwilling to pay its fair share for a park that has been a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. Meanwhile, while we continue to park for the park, there are 8 areas of the park in CB4 that either have yet to be constructed or are due for renovation.
