Polar ducks
March 9, 2013 The ducklings we helped raise over the last few years keep piling up because they refuse to migrate south, even when there is ice and snow on the ground. It’s a new bizarre breed of polar mallard. They are literally swimming in ice water. (Click images to (more…)

Letter: Spend the BPCA budget surplus on Battery Park
BPC residents have $126 Million in tax money that should go back into Battery Park City owners and to reduce the monthly building payments.
February 25, 2013 By Barbara Ireland
The huge budget surplus of cash that the Battery Park City Authority now redirects to other parts of the city should be reinvested here in Battery Park. The monthly common charge bills people in BPC pay are the highest in the city. This hurts the overall economics of the owner. Some owners can’t sell at market price since the prospective buyers are afraid of the higher monthly fees. Owners are not able to renovate after 25 years of wear and tear when monthly rents are just covering the owners monthly common charge. BPC residents’ budgets are tight so new restaurants and other luxury retailers are reluctant to start a business here when it may not flourish. Continue reading

No elected officials turn out for yet another Manhattan Youth fundraiser
March 7, 2013
Bob Townley’s Manhattan Youth center has been incessantly bombarding residents with email solicitations to raise money for his center, claiming that the Hurricane Sandy damage was not covered under insurance. He hosted a fundraiser on February 28th, with invitations droppings names such as Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel.
The local papers (that also receive funding from Manhattan Youth) reported the event as a big success, raising $75,000. However, Continue reading

Durst = Glick = NID tax to Tribeca
NYTimes, Assemblywoman Glick
March 3, 2013 By Steven E. Greer, MD
The NY Times printed a lengthy article about the Pier 40 debate and the Thursday, February 28th Town Hall. However, in the article, just as with the meeting, there is no mention of the NID tax being supported by Assemblywoman Glick, developer Douglas Durst, and other elected sate and city officials.

The State of Battery Park: 2013 annual letter
February 18, 2013 By Steven E. Greer, MD
Battery Park (BPC) is a far better place now than it was 12-months ago. Goldman Sachs brought fine dining to BPC for the first time with tremendous successes. Danny Meyer’s North End Grill was voted “Best New Restaurant” by the Zagat survey group and is booked for two rounds of dining every night. Renovations of the new “Brookfield Place” in the World Financial center are progressing, as is the construction of the new Freedom Tower and other office buildings at the old Ground Zero. The rundown old Gate House restaurant has been replaced by a completely remodeled SouthWestNY restaurant that now attracts business executives for bustling lunch crowds: something never seen before on South End Avenue.

Exclusive: NY State gives update on NY Waterway ferry boat engines
Update February 7, 2013
NYSERDA provided us with this update, “Two of the remaining 7 vessels are at the shipyard now having the engines and emission controls installed. When they are completed they should be replaced with other vessels. Progress is being made.”
January 24, 2012 By Steven E. Greer
Since 2011, BatteryPark.TV has been reporting on the pollution and noise problems emanating from the NY Waterway ferry boats that dock on the Vesey Street slip by the Irish Memorial. We have given presentations before the CB1, worked with the federal EPA, and most recently, initiated audits by the state and city comptroller’s offices to determine why the ferry company is not renovating the old diesel engines.
Recall, the state agency NYSERDA, through a federal grant, made available more than $7 million to the ferry boat company to retrofit the Tier 0 (most polluting) diesel engines. However, despite the CEO of Billybey Ferry Boat company, Paul Goodman, stating in 2011 that the engines were ordered, only 2 of the 9 boats had received the retrofit. In his most recent appearance before the CB1 in January, 2013, Mr. Goodman reported no progress, and blamed Hurricane Sandy.
After being stonewalled by the ferry boat company, Port Authority, and some members of CB1, BP.TV contacted City Comptroller John Liu and State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli requesting audits of the NYSERDA funds. We have now been given an exclusive update by NYSERDA. Continue reading

NID tax on Tribeca barely discussed at Pier 40 Town Hall
February 28, 2013 By Steven E. Greer, MD
After attending the CB1 meeting on February 27th, where numerous well organized Tribeca citizens spoke against the proposed NID tax to fund the Hudson River Park Trust, the event on February 28 in the CB2 district could not have been more different. Although the meeting as packed with hundreds of people, almost no one was even aware that the NID proposal even existed. It was only at the end, when elected state officials spoke, that the NID was discussed.
The prime objective of the meeting was Continue reading

Opposition to the Hudson River Park NID tax
February 26, 2012 By Steven E. Greer
The joint session of the full Manhattan Community Board 1 met at the new BMCC (just north of old Ground Zero) to discuss the new tax that is being floated by the Hudson River Park Trust to be in the form of a Neighborhood Improvement District (NID). The private residential buildings along the Hudson river, from Tribeca up to 59th street, would be asked to pay a tax to fund the upkeep and repairs of the park. The official website can be found at HRPNID.org. Continue reading
