I don't think being far from the center of Manhattan is bad at all. It's close to the 7 train and the LIRR; you could even run ferry service to the marina if you want. The badly maintained part is...

Just like every other line in the city at some point. Besides, it has its quiet points. I've ridden it late at night (assuming there's no service disruptions), with seats available.

That's only because it's never been given the respect it deserves. I've only been there a couple of times, but it's always well used by the surrounding immigrant neighborhoods. However, whenever the...

Queens Crossing continues on a slow pace. Despite an original Fall 2006 completion date, it has been pushed back to Fall of this year. I passed by there today and they only are now removing the wood...

I disagree with your assessment of Flushing and crime in the area, considering the 109th...

I was there around the 4 this afternoon walking toward Grand Central. I couldn't figure out what was happening until I heard some guy yakking on his cellphone that a man had jumped.

Why can't New York do something like this?

They're still around. They were bought out by A&P and largely remains a chain in Brooklyn/Queens and Long Island.

Haha, this is what the NIMBY's wanted. Really short-sighted, especially limiting height to be below the clock tower. I hope Markowitz is happy.

Maybe he and Osama can battle it out. It could even be a Pay-Per-View event.

All fantastic projects. And to think the High Line faced demolition at one point...good thing that didn't happen.

Then more needs to be done to explain that congestion pricing is more than just a "toll."

The funds will be used to improve mass transit like increasing service or extending subway lines, or even...

Very gorgeous. I can see that in NYC replacing the slower, dirtier buses we have now.

Streetsblog made a post dealing with just that subject. Despite its burgeoning development, the city at large still circles around massive roads and the automobile.

Oh, I agree you; I just didn't clarify myself initially. Congestion pricing will only easy motor traffic in the city and make it safer for everyone else.

I'm happy the project has finally been improved by the height reduction is a major disappointment. Mindless NIMBYism rules again.

This projects only gets better and better... I hope the organization is successful in acquiring the remaining part of the ROW.

Pedicabs are hardly a threat to the city when you have private cars blazing up and down the streets. Let's see the city bring congestion charging to the table and then we should worry about pedicabs...

That's confidence for you. :rolleyes:

Expect NYC to dish out even more incentives in the coming years. There needs to be a push to allow for more offices outside of Lower Manhattan. Why not Long...

Oops, sorry! I meant Kohl's, not Lowe's.

There was an article in today's Daily News that confirms that construction has started. It also mentioned the main retail tenants will be Century 21, Home Depot and Lowe's.

I can't seem to find...

So you think generating $188 million dollars and reducing traffic in the city for a day isn't preferable to drawing more traffic?



Traffic congestion affects everyone even if you don't drive.
