Seems like the two of you are referring to opposite directions, then; I interpret "further up the street" to mean northbound on Erie (Blue Lotus, Basic, Ahri's Kitchen), and not southbound on Erie (Talde).

I think the point is multi-faceted, respectfully. A large use of the system in NYC is "the last mile"; i.e., the mile between one's home and the train, or one's work and the train. That's exactly how I use it in Manhattan. I'd much rather take a 3-minute bike ride than a 12-minute walk.

There was a proposed map of stations on the mayor's Facebook page or something; I remember being underwhelmed by the proposed station locations. For example, in Downtown, the only locations were at the PATH stations, rendering it entirely unusable for Downtown residents.

Which is why the neighbors should be attempting to support Prato get a single-instance variance to help them succeed, rather than watch them fail without seating, only to be replaced by something far worse that might bribe their way to getting a permanent zoning change.

There are some mornings at Newport station where the 33rd St trains are a bit too packed; when that happens, I take the next Hoboken-bound train instead (which is completely empty) and then grab a 33rd Street train from there. Like the weekend method, except somewhat speedier since trains run more frequently.

Problems? What, you're going to beat them up if they do something you don't like? After the macro level maneuverings (x number of buildings with x number of streets and x amount of green space), the developers are going to do what they want. If that means the beloved hardscrabble grocery store gets shivved and relocates somewhere else within a drivable distance, thems the breaks. This happens pretty much everywhere where structures/spaces are owned by someone else.

The place that is amazing is Christos, they manage to stock a few pieces of a ridiculous assortment of stuff. +1 For Christos; I can't believe how amazing they are for such a tiny space. There's even items for sale you don't see; they'll sell you whatever produce/etc. they use to make their prepared items (a head of lettuce, for example).

Well, scuttlebutt has it that the photography studio is relocating into the space. If true, this would be a terrible mistake. I can't think of a worse misuse of a corner retail location (complete with a dozen floor-to-ceiling windows and pre-existing kitchen; good luck finding someone to spend $$ to rebuild that once you rip the current one out) than a business that generates zero walk-in business and needs total artificial lighting.

If I had to completely speculate, I think they ended up in a Catch-22.
1. The retail cupcake sales were what created the customer base for the more-lucrative custom cake orders. 2. The retail sales were strong enough that it prevented her from having enough time to work on the custom cake orders. 3. She had to hire additional staff to man the retail counter. 4. The retail sales weren't strong enough to also pay for the increased labor costs of the additional staffing, turning it into a loss. 5. Ceasing the loss-leader retail sales destroyed the "toe-dipping/ try-before-you-buy" customer base for the custom cake orders. As I said, completely my speculation.

I was hoping for/expecting a speed *bump* (which are higher and more substantial), rather than a speed hump. Unfortunately, the humps installed on 9th Street are ineffective; cars/trucks are flying over them with little to no issue. I just watched a car blast down 9th around 40 MPH, go over one hump, blow through the new stop sign, and then over the second hump without slowing in the slightest.

I'm going to make a guess and presume that the purpose of the 8th St. @ McWilliams stop sign is simply to make cars proceed at a slower pace to the stop sign @ 8th & Jersey. Traffic calming, if you will.

My family lives in one of those very buildings in the image, and we could care less about the sound of the basketball court. It's a little after 11pm as I type this, and there's some mild sounds of a few people playing out there now, and so what? Traffic is louder than people.

From what I can reckon from the images, it's the same below-ground parking garage that currently exists below the open lot, but the entrance to it has shifted to mid-block from the current 4/5ths point. The images also led me to think that there were no retail store spaces at street level, which would have been insane. Luckily, the article at the second link indicates that there are.
