The department of environmental protection DEP) announced in june 2021 that there will be 61 acres of active recreation in Liberty State Park! The battle now is between the DEP plans for the long planned and funded remediation and creation of 165 acres of awesome nature habitats, and miles of paths and the free active recreation, against the destructive plans of the billionaire Paul fireman and his bought off surrogates who want a 5000 seat and 2500 seat stadium and 7000 seat commercial concert venue in the park. please keep up with this battle for the future of this priceless park at the Friends of Liberty State Park website www.folsp.org and on social media. The billionaire’s lobbyists,and funded surrogates killed the Liberty State Park Protection Act after three years, which had 33,000 petition signatures, and 111 groups in the coalition and 46 years of the broad public consensus against commercialization and privatization. The billionaire’s lobbyist wrote their own liberty Park law last June, and it sets up a stacked task force which includes some of the billionaire’s funded surrogates who will push their exclusionary, admission fee, traffic jam, causing, sports, and entertainment complex commercial venues which will destroy the future of this park, which has always been supported as a Central Park type free urban park (but with continuing periodic admission fee concerts and festivals, but not every weekend which will happen with their commercial venues). The same billionaire Paul Fireman still wants to destroy the park’s Caven Point Natural Area to relocate golf holes for the multimultimillionaires of his adjacent golf course. The billionaire has two funded front groups. One is “liberty Park for all” which pushed falsehoods and smear attacks for three years and now the second one is “Peoples Park Foundation” headed by Bob Hurley - who was in that gang of opportunists pushing falsehoods killing the Protection Act - and his Fireman-funded group really should be called the Paul Fireman Commercial Venues park foundation”. Fireman’s money will be pushing those commercial venues and attacking the spectacular DEP plans. The current statement against their plans on the Friends of LSP website is at.

I have to agree with you about people being disgusting. Even if there was no concern about COVID, wiping down equipment after using it is a basic courtesy. We recently moved into a building we love, but this is one thing (out of three) that really bothers me: seemingly no one wipes weight machines, or treadmills, after using them. I watch people hop on and off during my daily runs and not once have I seen someone come back to wipe them after finishing. My best guess is that most people think/feel that cleaning the equipment after using it is to be done by the staff. Drives me bananas, but I’m more or less resigned to this happening.

West part, past Kennedy, it's alright. There are always spots.

If you are closer to Palisade and get home after 6 or 7, forget it. There's almost nothing. Most people just park on crosswalks or bus stops at that point and move it early to avoid a ticket.

I am excited that we will get a Pompidou outpost. I want the city to invest the time and money to get it right, make it feel like a world class museum, and make it accessible for everyone. That said, they definitely should do it all transparently. I don’t mind that they went, but don’t do it under the table and then kick back tax dollars to those that funded it.

It’s weird, if I said “hey I’m trying not to get gonorrhea so I wear condoms” I don’t think anyone would respond “oh but they have a cure for that! But condoms are so inconvenient. But you are reasonably healthy!” Even if some of that were true. But trying to not get something that is 1. Way easier spread that gonorrhea 2. Has more potential side effects than gonorrhea somehow harshest the vibe.

If anyone wants me to stay inside so they don’t have to be reminded of COVID, I’d happily accept thousands of dollars to create my own gym!
