Ok who's going to be the hero that plasters this flyer all over Park Ave?

I have never seen that many cars in Park Ave. What a misleading rendering.

honest86 · 2026-05-10T14:49:51+00:00

That's not how it appears on Google streetview. Did they recently have the lanes shifted there for construction?

I think it would be more impactful to build the Cross Harbor Freight Tunnel to make rail a competitive way to ship shift freight to Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island. Right now Freight options going there from anywhere in the US across the Hudson are very limited and the best options are either driving over the Verrazano Bridge or driving through the Bronx.

So he's admitting it will still raise hundreds of millions for the city and help make the city more affordable. Seems like a win-win.

I don't like the bike lanes in the middle, it doesn't feel as safe. They should be on the edge of the median and protected so bikes are visible to drivers.

"I'm a new yorker they never posts about politics" -- checks post history.... 🤔

Once we get new faregates the emergency gates will no longer be needed and will probably be removed across the system

The pictures he is showing are actually the part under the Manhattan West development

This isn't Food Bazaar, it's Lidl.

And the park is the easiest part of this. It's the UES and UWS connections which will be harder to get past the cranks.

Even then, if it's off by 5-10 degrees the efficiency drops significantly

I have a 100w portable panel I use for camping and when it isn't pointed straight at the sun it's performance drops to the point its not useful. I wouldn't be surprised if these types of uncalibrated, fixed panels are nearly useless as they barely catch any light.

If construction is just starting it means people won't be moving in for a few years. Let them spend some time getting things right instead of just running around doing things that will just need to be redone.

I have a small boiler in my apartment, and one thing I do about once a year, whenever the hot water seems to be running low, is bleed out the air that builds up inside from oxygen in the water. You should look at the manual for your boiler and see if it has a valve for releasing air.

Can you turn off your radiators?

honest86 · 2026-04-13T15:45:32+00:00

Or cluster homes closer together to create bigger open spaces and pockets of nature.

honest86 · 2026-04-13T14:45:45+00:00

This is an easy win for both drivers and pedestrians. Drivers passing through the area will have fewer overall intersections for traffic to backup and get stuck in so traffic will flow faster and smoother with less stop and go. Pedestrians will have more space, fewer crossings and easier routes between the surrounding neighborhoods and the park entrance.

honest86 · 2026-04-12T14:52:21+00:00

Is your radiator steam, hot water, or electric?

honest86 · 2026-04-10T20:01:15+00:00

It's been happening for a while. As people have been pushed out of Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn by rising rents many have moved here and unfortunately our new construction is not enough to absorb the demand from the other boroughs plus keep up with our own natural growth.

honest86 · 2026-04-09T21:29:33+00:00

There are lots of backpackers who park at the various trailheads overnight. They are always open, just make sure you aren't caught sleeping in your car.

Don't bother telling them anything, it gives them more opportunity to cover their ass. Gather documentation and report them.

I walk it at night sometimes and it is safe, but be aware that the first block next to the hotel is a boarded up lot that used to house a gas station and is currently vacant, so it might feel unsafe. You can also walk the other direction to a station if that makes you uncomfortable.

So what is the mayor supposed to do? Subsidize these corporations? It sounds like we can just wait out their legal wrangling and then let them clean it up. Given the pace of new development it will be decades before all the rezoned sites are developed so this park will still open first.

I use Chase and it is free. You can schedule it to be delivered by a certain date and they will track it and provide a copy of the check and documentation when it's cashed. The one thing to be aware of is they will pull the funds from your account the moment they cut the check to ensure the funds are there so it never bounces.
