I checked in with Madelyn Wils, president and CEO of the Hudson River Park Trust, to see how the park fared during hurricane Sandy. There were concerns that Pier 25, in particular, wouldn't be back to normal anytime soon.
Man about town Darcy Fulton and photographer Roberto DePalo scoped out the scene at last week's Fall Fling for the Friends of Hudson River Park.
Also on the CB1 agendas for October: Signage for the new Pier 17; Fish Market buildings; school overcrowding report; new Hudson Square school; ballfield permits; South Street Seaport Museum's future; the "Jenga Building" at 56 Leonard; Fulton Center update; much more. / 3 comments
