It was a big loss for the neighborhood:

Jon Michaud, "Last Call at Coogan's: The Life and Death of a Neighborhood Bar" (St. Martin's Press, 2023) Podcast
"Sometimes called Uptown City Hall, it became a staple of neighborhood life during its 35 years in operation—a place of safety and a bulwark against prejudice in a multi-ethnic, majority-immigrant community undergoing rapid change"

Today was the 19th Annual event in / to raise awareness of the neglected state of in Upper :: its been succeeding- the bike/pedestrian bridge that brought freshwater and fueled the growth of NYC has been restored. 12 groups hiked dozens of miles uptown then had an mc’d party at the end.

Just hoping there will be attendant congestion /emissions pricing on the I-95 — and already have poor air quality from that road, and the CBD tolling will make it worse for us uptown.

Work laptop updating ... here are more figures.

Next time your Community Board obsesses about bike/ebike annoyances instead of car dangers, show them this plot. Car/truck violence yields 100x injuries of bikes and e-bikes combined.
No one cares about enforcing red light violations postcovid (georgefloyd?). Interesting b/c thinks leading pedestrian intervals are a traffic calming measure.

I lived in near the for a while. I loved that bridge and walked it often.

One time during my walk I saw a bald eagle perched on a strut of the bridge. I asked it out loud, "really? You're really going to be *that* American eagle hanging out on the *George Washington* Bridge? You don't think that's too on-the-nose?"

He didn't answer me, he just flew away, but I believe he knew what I was getting at and felt sufficiently called out on his bullshit.
