I think this is a great idea in the perfect location. There are so many buildings in Northwest Tribeca that have multi-million dollar apartments but no playrooms for the kids. Those residents had the money but not the space. — lowphat on The Wonder is open for (members-only) business
James, I am sure there is truth to what you say, but there will be varying types of flood protections including levees of sorts, and that will not exist north of Chambers Street. Further, the ground can only absorb so much. It concerns me that no one seems to be addressing this. If what you say is true, let them explain the whys and the wherefores of it. — Heide Fasnacht on Franklin Street station to close for weeks this summer
Although my kids have outgrown the park it is a blessing to the entire community. It is what makes this neighborhood home. Walked past today and hearing the bustle and noise of the children, so happy to be outside, and clearly enjoying the park, made me happy as well! Looking forward to participating in the fundraiser. — Nichole on Seen & Heard: First ever fundraiser for Washington Market Park
Saving grace for this failing business. This is the ONLY place I ever got up and left in TriBeCa. Poorly trained or rude staff, inaccurate draft list (always 30-50% of beers were out). Can't even comment on the food because after 1 hr 20 min we got up and left waiting for sandwiches and salads. Second time I went and was served flat, warm beers that were overpriced. — Daniel K. on Barleycorn throws in the towel

I would think that Ideally adding parkland, enhanced tree pits, downspout planters, permeable concrete, and permeable asphalt as part of the Big U should help divert the water into the ground, etc., and not just divert it to flood other surface locations. — james on Franklin Street station to close for weeks this summer
Just got a chance to go to Archive wine. And I left in less than 5 minutes.where as I did not expect it to be inexpensive as was blown away at HOW expensive they are. On many common liquors they were 100% higher than the rest of the hood. I hope they realize and make changes soon or were going to have another Nail salon here soon. — Dizzy on Seen & Heard: New wine store for Greenwich Street

Good point. In NE PA, dikes and levees were built along the Susquehanna River in some towns. Other towns resisted. All that happens when the river floods is that the flooding in the towns that didn't build dikes is much more severe. — Makes You Go "Hmm-m-m" on Franklin Street station to close for weeks this summer
Thrilled that the flood protector installations are making their way around the city. A big sign of relief and great use of our tax $'s! — TG on Franklin Street station to close for weeks this summer
Something is not clear to me in regards to flood protections. If they prevent water from going into one place, does it not go into another? If they build flood protections (the Big U) around Lower Manhattan and it ends at the north end of Battery Park City, what happens north of Chambers? According to the flood map, the area around Franklin, North Moore and White will basically become an inlet. We know this from Hurricane Sandy. Doesn't the design of the Big U exacerbate that? Further, If water doesn't flood into the subway tunnel, will the excess not be taken up in basements and subbasements? No one has been able to answer my questions. — Heide Fasnacht on Franklin Street station to close for weeks this summer

That's how it was for decades -- closed from the day after the Halloween party until mid-May -- but the Friends was besieged with complaints from parents that there was no place to play in winter and early spring. That's why we moved to sod. We paid for it for the first couple years and then started raising money ourselves for some events so Parks could redirect some funds towards the sod. The trade off is six months of a closed lawn and less money or six weeks of a closed lawn for more money. — Pam Frederick on Seen & Heard: First ever fundraiser for Washington Market Park

Washington Market Park should consider closing off the lawn during the fall and winter to save the grass. Fall aeration and top seeding would be much cheaper than the annual re-sodding that goes on every spring (only to close off the newly sodded grass to the public just as the weather turns nice). Rockefeller and other parks protect their lawns this way ... and the saved extra money could go towards these public programs. — John on Seen & Heard: First ever fundraiser for Washington Market Park

I just made a donation — I hope your friend is able to recover. Speaking of West St. accidents, does anyone know what happened to Sherman Harrison, the guy who drove 100 mph up West St., caused an accident that incinerated another driver, then casually hopped out of his car and walked his dog up Hubert St. This was in late December and I witnessed the aftermath — and I remember it every time I pass by. I hope he’s still locked up; there was a rumor that his sister was a famous singer and i’m worried she was able to spring him out of jail. — Meg on In the News: Woman struck by car on Murray

The drunk driver is solely responsible for the carnage. There was even a safety agent on duty helping people cross the intersection, and he too was hit by the drunk driver. Details from the BPC Broadsheet: "Friday evening, around 10:00 pm, an alleged drunk driver turned from Murray Street on West Street, and struck two pedestrians. One was Travis Frank-Martain, a safety agent, employed by Goldman Sachs, to escort people through the congested intersection. The car hit him with enough force to throw him into the air, but he escaped with minor injuries. Less fortunate was Sarah Chan, whom Mr. Frank-Martain had helped through the intersection seconds earlier. She was struck with sufficient force to sever her left foot. Both Mr. Frank-Martain and Ms. Chan were taken by ambulance to Bellevue Hospital, where doctors had to amputate her leg, below the knee. The driver of the car, Travis Funes, was arrested at the scene and charged with drunk driving and vehicular assault." — PeterD on In the News: Woman struck by car on Murray
I just learned that I know the woman who was hurt. She is absolutely lovely - and in no way has the financial resources to deal with this and there will be no real insurance for a 27 year old driving a rental car, which makes this a No Fault case. Please contribute to her GoFundMe campaign https://www.gofundme.com/aq3g7-support-for-sarah Thanks! — A. on In the News: Woman struck by car on Murray
