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?

To the editor, I was seriously pissed as I read an article about the Battery Park City Authority’s interest in removing the colonnade on South End Avenue. The street as it is, is pleasant and allows choices of sun or shade and so on. However my more serious question is why the BPCA continues to...

To the editor: Re: Cycling Fatality I was extremely sorry to hear of the cyclist fatality on Chambers Street this Sunday. Sad as it, is it was no shock to hear it. I have been biking daily on these streets for over 30 years. The protected lane that travels the length of the West Side...
