Screaming is all I do and have witnessed other pedestrians doing while the culprit runs away with their vehicle. I hope you find some lead.

Ive lived here 30 years. Feel free to DM me if you need help.
The location you listed is close to the path.
From that spot -walking to the path - taking it to 14th st, and then walking to the chealsea meat packing area will take you about 45min to an hour.

The driver has the responsibility to look out for pedestrians as well. You sound like someone who speeds up to hit whenever they see a pedestrian.

I’ve had people honk at me to get out of the way so they can park in the crosswalk that I’m standing at waiting for the light to turn to cross.

We have friends right there so I get it. Really unfortunate you have to deal with that.

JC is kind of 3rd world in that way. Cars rule and pedestrians be damned. Constantly dodging double parked cars that think it’s just fine to block an entire lane just because they are delivering fast food! How does a city become pedestrian friendly… and not just in a lip service manner?

Sadly can’t avoid the area as I live here and have to walk to my train to get to work.

Right, I forgot that my life is insignificant and being concerned for others’ reckless indifference to my well-being and the law should be tolerated!
Edit: nice condescending edit! I can tell you have a lot of empathy for others.

Your very dramatic posting really made me laugh out loud. Remember to look both ways before you cross the street just like mama taught you.

As someone else already stated, Erie is really crazy in the mornings as more and more people use it to try and bypass the Marin Blvd backups. And, it doesn't help that Cordero parents choose to double park to drop off theirs kids, blocking the flow of traffic, which invariably adds to the frustration / rage of other drivers already on edge, which then manifests as even more antisocial and aggressive driving. It's a gigantic vicious cycle in that area for a good chunk of the morning. Personally, I would try to avoid the area if you can. Obviously, QoL enforcement is not a priority for the JCPD, and everyone is emboldened by the obvious lack of policing.

I have had several stop sign runners look me dead in the eye while doing so, and one even mocked me by rolling down his window and shouting “what? What? What?” And laughing at me as he drove away. These people are legit MALICIOUS.

Is "located on a charming street in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan" an amenity? Is free rent an amenity?

I keep saying this but it doesn’t hurt to tweet the mayor and the JCPD. They do nothing but I always liked reminding them that they do nothing.

I’m afraid every day as a pedestrian in this city. The drivers are incredibly selfish and entitled and seem to take red lights and stop signs as suggestions to be ignored. Zero traffic or parking enforcement. Honestly this is a great city but if we ever leave, it’ll be 100% because of this issue.
