Dead ends

On Tuesday, the city closed the 10th Street pedestrian bridge as the demolition and rebuilding of East Village expanded to the north. The city also shut down the access to Stuyvesant Cove. 

Or so they thought. 

Edmund John Dunn noted that day, in the top pic, that runners and cyclists heading south past Stuyvesant Cove easily navigated the half-hearted no-thru traffic attempt and were still accessing the Con Ed lemon squeezer section. 

In an update today... the city has beefed up its defenses at 13th Street.

Anyone still accessing this pinch point will likely need to turn around or else add a climb to their exercise routine...

    You can not blame the construction crew, they posted signs and put up barricades.

    Thanks, Carlina!

    You turned your back on the community that elected you and followed your marching orders from the party bosses.

    Good career move? Where did it get you?

    Cue the moaning and complaining. Remarkable to me that a massive investment to create a green space along the river that helps to serve and protect the city is met with so much hostility. Tax dollars being invested for public work projects- celebrate! Also - the results look fantastic

      Again this is not correct. As I have posted numerous times, there was an alterative community approved major construction plan that did not destroy the Park (the section of the Park south of the Con Ed plan) in order to save it. You are purposely ignoring the history of the ESCR here.

    It's ridiculous this new measure was implemented. Why don't others respect instructions? If a construction sign says do not pass through, (HELLO) you don't pass through, especially if there is a barricade near the FDR. What if someone accidentally trips or falls onto incoming traffic? Not a good idea. Just turn around and return to your starting point. Quite simple. At the end of the day, these warnings are merely posted for our safety.

    They lied, they said the park up to Houston would be done before north of that started. I'm so pissed.
