Interesting. What are the names of the "political observers" and "local residents" the NY Post is citing, and what exactly did they say? Would help me better make my decision in the booth — j frank p on TCQ&A Election Edition: Maud Maron

"Political observers and local residents wary of the city’s decline say Maron, a former Democrat who has street cred among the district’s deep-blue base and a willingness to challenge party orthodoxy, is gaining momentum."

I tried to find those FiDi compost bins. Went to 3 of the locations and no bins. Does anyone know the start date? I’ve googled without success. Thanks. — S on One more push for composting

Was the data compiled before the block between Hudson and West Broadway was closed to through traffic? Relying on outdated data can be very dangerous! — elizabeth on Citi Bike station on Duane will move alongside park

that was an absolute delight to watch - what talent! — urban cowgirl on Seen & Heard: Icca on Warren is open

Maud Maron is a sore loser and Exhibit A why New York should have a sore loser election law. You lose a primary you can't run in the general. Her campaign is reckless because it encourages a primary loser to run in a much much closer general where their votes could cost their party the seat. What if Christopher Marte was in a dead even or near dead even race? She has zero chance of winning. Her campaign is nothing more than a protest against what? A party she herself was part of until it didn't get her what she wanted? Stay an independent lady. — Tim on TCQ&A Election Edition: Maud Maron

Putting the dock south of the park eliminates the option to go south on Greenwich when taking out a bike. From a user perspective, it is a less ideal location although I understand the compromise. I'm sure you'll just see people salmon back up the street. What I would love to see some protected bike lanes to support all of these docks. On Hudson and on Greenwich! — Matt on Citi Bike station on Duane will move alongside park

What's with not allowing my post showing concern and opposition to a Citibike dock on the south side of Duane Park? A dock there would be dangerous because cars use the south fork. You think having to go into the road to get a bike, backing into the road, and a dock in direct line of cars is safe??? Also you have a problem with me calling for turning the north fork into a plaza? I thought you wanted Duane between Greenwich and Hudson closed to traffic permanently. Besides that DB has the same idea I posted re: Scalini Fideli & a plaza. Or I dared to challenge your pal Phyllis?

I’ve enjoyed other Alamo Drafthouse locations, and this one looks good too. I’m so glad they’re here, and I loved that no-texting PSA. I had not seen it before! — Brawnwillow Smidd on New Kid in Fidi: Alamo Drafthouse

A good point here as well, we have a redundant route for Greenwich to Hudson anyway. The North Fork is truly pointless when it comes to actually moving cars. — DB on Citi Bike station on Duane will move alongside park

Phyllis, We actually have data that proves that the north side is indeed, rarely used vs the south side. Per DOT, more than 4,700 cars use Duane to go from Greenwich to some turn off to Lafayette (West Broadway, Church, Broadway). Only 600 turn on to Hudson from the north fork. This is data wise conclusive that the North Fork is rarely used vs. the South. Feel free to take a look here: https://gisportalny.dot.ny.gov/portalny/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=28537cbc8b5941e19cf8e959b16797b4 Please let this be a warning for all that we shouldn't take bold statements like the above without first looking to see if our great public agencies have data to educate an opinion. This seems to be quite the issue at Community Board meetings where experts, with data, are shouted down because someone doesn't like something. Very Trumpian. Further, if I was Scalini Fedeli (a great restaurant btw) having an Italian-like plaza for outdoor seating would be quite appealing vs. a shed they have to maintain in the street. That's one of the great things about Italy! Car-free plazas! They also wouldn't lose curb space with Staple. I again think we need to prioritize people over cars, especially, when the data proves the north fork is not used widely, and people could still turn on to Hudson. — DB on Citi Bike station on Duane will move alongside park

Most cars turning north on Hudson came down Greenwich. They can go east on Jay and avoid Duane. — Komanoff on Citi Bike station on Duane will move alongside park

NATIVE NYC under DeBlasio is safer than 1970-2013 NYC & 93 on NYC has been safer than 1970-93. Dinkins hired more cops before Giuliani did & Giuliani/NYC benefitted from a booming economy spurred on by a Democratic presidential administration (Clinton turned a Reagan-Bush 1 deficit into a surplus wiped out by Bush 2 - deal with it.) Crime has gone up but the stats are still far below 1998 & 2001. Stop with the fearmongering. Sliwa is a clown who wants to be a cop but never became one & his pseudo-police were thugs. Adams is a serious man who actually was a cop. — No to Curtis Sliwa on UPDATE: What’s doing for Halloween?

Temporary outdoor seating created by a pandemic which will end one day. The restaurant would benefit from a plaza because it could have outdoor seating along the front of the restaurant next to the plaza. The north fork is redundant as you can turn onto Hudson from the south fork which is needed so cars can go east on Duane. It's an oddity from a long gone era at this point. Get rid of the north fork and deliveries to the restaurant could still be made from Staple. The south side of Duane Park is an AWFUL place for a Citibike station because CARS GO DOWN IT. A rider would have to be in the road get a bike from there then back into the road to get one out - a disaster (bike rider death) waiting to happen plus what if a vehicle slams into the docking station? At least the current dock allows you to enter it from the sidewalk vs. no sidewalk on the south side of the park. On an unrelated note ENOUGH with No.Moore Street being the only westbound street below Beach. Time to make Jay Street westbound. This would reduce northbound traffic above Jay as it'd eliminate cars that miss or can't go down westbound Reade who need to get to Greenwich, Chambers, West from Chambers, or streets below Chambers, as well as reduce flow from No.Moore down Greenwich. The days of meat, dairy, butter, eggs etc. delivery trucks coming from the west side, Bronx, NJ etc. (why Duane, Jay, Harrison & Franklin are ridiculously eastbound) are long gone. Also replace No.Moore with "North Moore" - big deal three extra letters : ) — CitiYIKES! on Citi Bike station on Duane will move alongside park

Hey I like to know I'll be thrown out if I dare speak a sentence or two during a movie or receive an emergency text I have to reply to. I'll pass besides that Regal Cinemas is much easier to get to from TriBeCa & less expensive than Alamo Drafthouse. — AlaNo 2 Alamo on New Kid in Fidi: Alamo Drafthouse

We hope people enjoy watching the video as much as we enjoyed creating it! Sending big love out to NYC … and especially to Tribeca, of course! — Downtown Dance Factory on Seen & Heard: Icca on Warren is open

As a forty year resident of Duane Street, I take issue with the assertion that the north side of Duane is rarely used by cars. Cars turning north on Hudson use the north side of Duane Street, and there are plenty of them. Also, there is a restaurant on that side of Duane, which has outdoor seating. — Phyllis on Citi Bike station on Duane will move alongside park

Decks and platforms are prohibited on sidewalks under the outdoor eating program. Restaurants are allowed to only use removable tables and chairs within certain distances on sidewalks. Chanson’s platform installation is completely non-compliant. Just a matter of time before the DOB comes and requires them to remove this. — Harriet on Seen & Heard: Chanson is still in process

I know he makes a lot of money, but why does she need a home that will cost UP to $6 million, plus he's giving her $1 million a year? Thousands of businesses went out this year and last year and people aren't working because of it and are having trouble paying their rent and other necessary bills. I hope she'll donate some of that (she didn't earn it) money to food banks or families that need help. — Sara Ross on In the News: The original Black media king
