Tag: Letters to the Editor

To the editor:
In regard to Mr. Goodkind’s letter in the April 28 BroadsheetDAILY that suggests BPC should become part of New York City:With corruption appearing to ooze out in many directions from the Mayor’s office, why would anyone want to place Battery Park City under the city’s control?

A far better solution would be to increase local representation on the BPCA board; given all the neighborhood concern, it seems probable that this will eventually happen.

Ironically, Mr. Goodkind’s letter appears directly below the Broadsheet article which discusses downtown construction and includes this quote, “Seven weeks ago, four elected officials  representing Lower Manhattan wrote to City Hall for…oversight of construction in Lower Manhattan. They have yet to receive the courtesy of a reply”.

Why in the world would we want to subject our community to the unresponsiveness or worseof City Hall?

Safety of Our Children

Dear Neighbors, I am writing to you at this time to both alert you and ask for your support in writing to BPCA about the current issues, regarding the safety of our children. As you are aware in BPC of late, there has been a group of teens coming into BPC and terrorizing our children...

LETTERS BPC residents on the BPCA Board

Dear editor: I am glad that some important facts came out at CB1’s BPC committee meeting reported by The BroadsheetDAILY.

We have an extremely talented and diverse population...
To the editor: Thank you for the Broadsheet’s continued coverage of the effort to get more local representation on the Battery Park City Authority (BPCA) Board, including Matthew Fenton’s recent “Home Rule, But By Whom?” I appreciate that Community Board 1 is again taking up support for my bill with Assemblymembers Glick and Niou to...

Impacted Wisdom Truth

RE: BroadsheetDAILY March13, 2017 Impacted Wisdom Truth To the editor: Question: Would it not make more sense to have such a tax go into a special infrastructure fund dedicated to serve a district rather than just earmarked for schools? It is obvious that not only schools are impacted by residential development: Fire; transportation, sanitation, water,...

A local fascinating lost cultural niche, Tribeca’s Fountain Pen Hospital

To the editor: In an increasingly virally virtual world of seductive enjoyable distraction/ direction/exploration that sometimes diminishes essential human connecting and growth, the real oils, brushes and canvas of personal development (observing, oral sharing, and learning) from the real world around as well as the brand new electronic ones, I would like to share a...

Flip this Hotel

To the editor: I was very confused by the article below regarding the ‘Flip this Hotel’ (BroadsheetDAILY March 1). You stated Hidrock paid $28 million for the property, which was only the land. You fail to mention the fact Hidrock had to build a hotel on the land and the cost of building the hotel...
