US post office using Albany Street for storage
May 20, 2013- Letter to Editor from R. Anderson Last year, I had a months-long battle with the US Postal Service to stop using Albany St as a storage area for their orange bins. It took the intervention of the elected Federal Representative’s office and BPC to finally get the (more…)

Letter: Margaret Chin endorses idea of BPC residents serving on BPCA board
August 21, 2013 Transparency and oversight should be integral components of any government entity, especially those that deal directly with public money. From the beginning, a portion of BPCA revenue was meant to be allocated specifically toward developing affordable housing. However, those funds get put towards the city’s general fund, (more…)

How to protect your 401K in this market bubble
March 12, 2013 By Steven E. Greer
The stock markets have reached all-time highs despite the fundamentals of the economy still reflecting a recession. The reason for this incongruity is that the Federal Reserve has been indirectly “printing money”, via “Quantitative Easing” (QE), which has created a false perverse “free money” zero-interest-rate environment. Ben Bernanke’s Fed is currently pumping an astounding $85 Billion per month into the markets, inflating the biggest market bubble the world has ever seen.
The second that the Continue reading

Asphalt Green now provides after-school programs
Update May 9, 2013- Asphalt Green has now created a website explaining their after-school program. “No babysitter? No problem! With our after–school pick-up service, parents can rest assured their children are safely picked up from school and escorted to Asphalt Green for their afternoon classes. Students from PS 276 will travel by shuttle bus. Our chaperones will supervise and make sure children are ready for their classes. A break will also be provided for packed snacks. Children enrolled in classes starting at 3:30 pm only are eligible for after-school pick-up. Children must be picked up by caregivers immediately following their classes. After-School Pick-Up is available for children who attend PS 234, PS 89 & PS 276.”
For more information, please call 212.298.2900.

Many of the parents who have supported Asphalt Green coming to Battery Park City have been under the impression that it would provider higher caliber after-school programs than what Bob Townley’s Manhattan Youth provides. That will not be the case. Asphalt green does not offer after-school programs on the Upper East side, currently, and will not do so in the new BPC location either.

Important issues Downtown approved without community input
May 9, 2013- By Steven E. Greer
Battery Park City residents will now be forced to endure weeks of the latest “outdoor art” chosen by the Brookfield Properties art guru, Debra Simon. The hideous steal cargo ship containers are smack-dab in the middle of the most visible part of the esplanade, and on public property (not Brookfield property). How did this come to be without an ounce of warning and no public comment? The Community Board 1 (CB1), which normally meddles in the affairs of small businesses down to the minutiae of the number of outdoor cafe seats, etc., has never once in discussed the Brookfield arts programs within the last several years.
Far more important than some dubious outdoor art has been Continue reading

More “art” chosen by Brookfield for the esplanade
May 7, 2013- Debra Simon runs the arts programs for Brookfield Properties and, year after year, selects bizarre outdoor exhibits. This year, they have steal cargo containers with garden plants on the walls. Of all the frivolous overreaches of Community Board 1 power, why are these outdoor exhibits not approved by the community?

The crime problem in Teardrop Park worsens
Update May 8, 2013- A the May 7th CB1 BPC meeting, the main topic was lack of PEP presence in Teardrop Park, and the increase in petty crimes. However, more serious larceny, such as snatch and grab of iPads, is taking place in nearby Rockefeller Park, so residents should not laugh off the trends seen in Teardrop.
