That traffic had to move to somewhere. What are the spots that are now clogged which were previously passable? (I'm thinking mostly of commercial traffic....trucks double parked while unloading and such.)

I suspect most of the traffic doesn't actually move anywhere. Canal street is the entrance to the Manhattan Bridge. I suppose it's possible that people who really need to get to Brooklyn could take the Triboro but that's pretty fucking far out of the way. I think people are just realizing that they don't actually need to drive into Manhattan as much.

And in my ample (though not recent) experience at that location, commercial trucks are a tiny % of the traffic there.

So the Congestion Relief Zone is a thing…trump did not end it and in general it has been a success, lowering traffic volume, improving commute times, bumping up public transit ridership, and retail sales and foot traffic have improved inside the zone.

So here’s the deal…on August 27 take a trip down to 254 W 54th St. Cellar, and a the club called “54 Below” to catch The Death of the Living Club. It is a good show and my daughter is one of the featured performers.

Here is what they say about it: “For one night only, join us at 54 Below for a high-octane musical mashup of zombies, video games, and synth fueled chaos. The Death of the Living Club finds four teenagers trapped in a shopping mall overrun by the undead. Watch as they fight for survival – and their sanity – armed with pop-punk anthems, glittering weapons, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship.”


Tickets at the link…buy by tomorrow
