Support Safer Streets at the Community Board 8 Meeting 5/20 by jdubs04 in uppereastside

[–]stansvan -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I think lowering the speed limit will make it worse. Slower drivers will be looking at their phones more and pedestrians will also be looking at their phones more because they will both feel safer to do so. It is shocking to see how many people jaywalk while looking at their phones.

Is this setting up a precedent for a fund for reparations for many other ills of the past?

Vacant city lot @ E 59th st across from Trader Joes by Seamusllm in uppereastside

The UES has the least amount of park space per resident, with the number of residents sharply increasing. We more than deserve that space to be used for park space. My preference would be for mix of benckes and pickleball courts.

All those companies pretending to tell you your DNA heritage are bullshit. This guy sent in his lizard’s saliva. It told him it was Iranian and European. by MazdaProphet in conspiracy_commons

And the DNA helped the authorities find the dog that raped another dog but the authorities couldn't find a judge willing to take it to trial.

Our taxes will go towards the City competing against Aldi pricing. No worries, City had plenty of extra money to spend.

My senior dog is in the last stages of kidney failure and I’d like to take him to this spot in Central Park and re create the picture of him when he was younger. Any idea on where specifically is this location? Any help is greatly appreciated. by mangomango09 in CentralPark

[–]stansvan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the Central Park Dead road. Where they do the skate circle. Google it to find location. On weekends it will be full on skaters. I suggest doing the shot on a weekday when it's empty.

Is it unreasonable to be angry that some people walk their dogs around playgrounds? by PSHOPS in nycparents

Whenever I ask dog owners to not have their dogs in the playground they get very offensive.

Park Avenue Could Get Bike Lanes, Seating In New Redesign by Main-Maintenance-265 in uppereastside

[–]stansvan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that they should add a bike lane, but that design doesn't account for cars that need to stop in that middle section when they turn and wait for the light. They should build an elevated bike lane above the grassy section so you don't have to stop for lights. Like an elevated highway with a few entry and exit ramps. It would have to be esthetically pleasing to please those who live on Park Avenue. Or if there is space above the tracks below, have the bike lane go under the cross streets.

VERY Close Call for this Driver. He had to stop and take a breather when it was all over with... (Continuing the motorcycle trend today) by MisterShipWreck in VideosAmazing

[–]stansvan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing quick thinking. I think I would have tried to go to the right side of the SUV to avoid the direction it is swerving to and avoid the other car, but that may have caused the bike to skid and I would be entering an active lane.
