Community Board 1 met on July 1 to decide something regarding the West Street Tunnel plan, the $900 million proposal to bury the stretch of West Street that faces the WTC site. People are decidedly mixed in their support (including even Battery Park residents who don’t think it will do much to create a stonger connection to Downtown; a logical conclusion, since the Downtown they are adjacent to doesn’t have much to do if you don’t trade securities), save John Zuccotti, who, surprise! is the chair of the company that owns the World Financial Center. Since that makes him something of an underdog, you should be comforted by the fact that he is on the Development Advisory committee at the LMDC.
In the meantime, over at CB1, they decided this is issue requires… more discussion. Next month, CB1 intends to hold a seance to call the spirit of Ionesco to see if they can find a way to make Robert’s Rules works, or barring that, make their indecision a little more interesting to watch.

My position is self evident; it is a position.
