Introduction At the start of the Covid-19 crisis a group of transportation engineers began working together, on a pro bono basis, to develop a transportation system that would provide an almost risk-free method of travel to Manhattan’s Central Business District (CBD – Manhattan south of Central Park). The impetus for this grouping was the realization that the city may face similar epidemics, a severe flu season, or other man-made or natural disasters in the future. Experience told the group that the two forms of transportation that are most risk-free from both infections and crashes are walking and bicycling. These “active transportation” options are also healthy modes that burn calories, and build muscle, bone, heart, and lung strength while improving mental and emotional health. From this discussion, the idea of a bicycle-pedestrian bridge was born. Importantly, these facilities would be equitable. Costs to use them would be a pair of shoes or a bicycle. The group included teams from the Institute of Design & Each bridge could handle Construction (IDC) Innovation Hub of the NYU Tandon School approximately 20,000 people of Engineering, T.Y.

Inc., based in Montvale, NJ, ended its employment relationship with Ken Green, vice president of produce merchandising, as well as a number of other people at that level, on Monday, Sept. 26. Reached by The Produce News on Wednesday, Sept. 28, Mr. Green confirmed that he and A&P had "parted company on Monday after 40 years" with the firm. A&P declined to comment. Mr. Green said that he also was not at liberty to discuss the situation according to the terms of his severance agreement. The Produce News learned that numerous vice presidents of merchandising in charge of other departments were let go at the same time. Earlier in the month, A&P had announced another restructuring at the senior executive level. At that time, Bob Panasuk was replaced as senior vice president of merchandising by Stephen Slade. Mr. Panasuk had been the immediate boss of Mr. Green and the other vice presidents of merchandising who were let go on Sept. 28. A&P announced that move on Sept. 6, when Chief Executive Officer and President Eric Claus said of Mr. Panasuk, "We thank Bob for his contribution to A&P in the U.S. and Canada over the past 10 years, and wish him the best in his future endeavors. While Mr. Green would not comment on his specific situation, he said that it is common knowledge that A&P has downsized significantly in recent months.

    A&P Selling 120 Stores in $600 Million Deal, Files for Bankruptcy Protection

    - Advertisement - A&P selling 120 stores in $600 million deal, files for bankruptcy protection July 20, 2015 The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. Inc. has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time in five years. With 25 stores closing and approximately 120 being sold for $600 million, A&P will be losing nearly half of its current 296 stores. Ahold's Stop & Shop division will acquire 25 of the A&P stores in Greater New York for $146 million. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2015. At one time A&P, which operates in six states under the brand names A&P, Best Cellars, Food Basics, The Food Emporium, Pathmark, Superfresh and Waldbaum's, was the largest U.S. 1 / 2 supermarket chain with more than 15,000 stores. “After careful consideration of all alternatives, we have concluded that a sale process implemented through chapter 11 is the best way for A&P to preserve as many jobs as possible, and maximize value for all stakeholders,” Paul Hertz, president and chief executive officer of A&P, said in a press release. “The interest from other strategic operators has been robust during the company’s sales process to date, and we have every expectation that will continue in chapter 11. And while the decision to close some stores is always difficult, these actions will enable the company to refocus its efforts to ensure the vast majority of A&P stores continue operating under new owners as a result of the court-supervised process.
