Where exactly would a 100, 000 person stadium plus parking go? There's no room down there.

This is ridiculous. If the city commissioned a traffic study, you would be complaining that Fulop was wasting money. The ordinance calls for a trial period before being permanently enacted, which I think is a sufficient alternative. You and the other guy saying you've been here 40 years and knowing that "the traffic gets real bad" does not constitute sufficient evidence for throwing the whole plan in the garbage. I will admit to having a vested interest in the plan. I live and work in Downtown. I own property in Downtown. I do 99% of my shopping, eating, and drinking Downtown, and I think the plan will increase the quality of life here.

I didn't think you had a traffic study. Which streets will they use? Where will they be going? How will morning traffic differ from afternoon?

I won't take any discussion of traffic backups seriously until somebody starts addressing the hordes of people using downtown as a shortcut to the Holland Tunnel when they don't want to wait their turn on the Turnpike. Any other discussion before that is just whining.

Whenever I give the address over the phone and they go "Huh? And a half?" I say "yeah... it's a small house." Nobody has ever laughed, not even once.
I must be a minority in that I rarely have problems with mail and packages. If I do, 99% of the time it went to the neighbor. Anyone using GPS just uses the address without the half and they'll get pretty damn close to where they want to be. I like having a half address.

If there's an imminent risk or injury or death, I would think 911 would be the right number to call, but that's just me.

Re: Mason Needed for Bluestone Foundation repointing

I've only heard it called basalt, diabase and traprock around here. Bluestone refers to a similar type of rock in Australia/NZ, but refers to a type of sandstone commonly used here for old sidewalk paving.
Basalt is about 8-9 on the Mohs hardness scale. Diamond is 10. Mortar must be softer, as it acts as a sacrificial layer for repeated water intrusion events over time. I think regular portland cement would be just fine.

Most around here are brick or palisades traprock/basalt. Can you upload a pic? You really only have to worry about custom lime/sand mixtures when dealing with old red bricks, especially if they're pre-1900. Traprock can take straight modern cement because of how incredibly tough it is.

This is true. You're out of luck. If everyone in the towers downtown wanted to park on the street, the whole neighborhood would be a parking lot. The parking rule was a condition for allowing the buildings to be built.
