  • Chapter 18: Transit and Pedestrians
    Chapter 18: Transit and Pedestrians A. INTRODUCTION This chapter evaluates the potential impacts of the proposed project on transit and pedestrian facilities within the transportation study area. As described in Chapter 1, “Project Description,” the proposed project would result in the development of residential, retail/commercial, community facility uses, and open space along the East River waterfront. It should be noted that subsequent to the publication of the DEIS, the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual has been updated. To reflect the updated methodologies in the CEQR Technical Manual, the transit analyses in the FEIS have been revised accordingly. Therefore, the detailed transit analyses presented in this chapter are conducted pursuant to the new 2010 CEQR methodologies, using the specific criteria and procedures developed as part of the update. Furthermore, subsequent to the publication of the DEIS, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority-New York City Transit (NYCT) has restructured the bus service in the study area, resulting in changes to the B61and Q59 bus routes. Specifically, the B61 bus route has been replaced by B62 bus route in the study area and the terminus for the Q59 bus route in Brooklyn has been extended to Williamsburg Bridge Plaza instead of the Broadway/Kent Avenue intersection as analyzed in the DEIS. Moreover, due to the reconfiguration of Kent Avenue into a one-way northbound roadway from a two-way north-south roadway (discussed in detail in Chapter 17, “Traffic and Parking”), the Q59 bus route in the study area has been modified by shifting the southbound bus operations from Kent Avenue to Wythe Avenue between Grand Street and Broadway.

  • La Vie Est Un Roman
    À Nathan Samedi 3 juin, 10 h 30 du matin Trac fou. Je voudrais commencer un roman cet après-midi. Je m’y prépare depuis deux semaines. Les dix derniers jours, j’ai vécu avec mes personnages, dans leur ambiance. Je viens de tailler mes quatre douzaines de crayons neufs et ma main tremblait tellement que j’ai pris un demi-comprimé de Belladénal. Réussirai-je ? […] Pour le moment, j’ai la frousse et je suis tenté, comme toujours, de remettre à plus tard, sinon de ne plus écrire du tout. Georges SIMENON, Quand j’étais vieux La romancière galloise Flora Conway lauréate du prix Franz Kafka AFP, 20 octobre 2009 La très discrète romancière de trente-neuf ans s’est vu décerner la prestigieuse récompense saluant chaque année un auteur pour l’ensemble de son œuvre. Atteinte de phobie sociale, détestant ouvertement la foule, les voyages et les journalistes, Flora Conway n’avait pas fait le déplacement à Prague ce mardi soir pour assister à la cérémonie qui s’est tenue dans les salons de l’hôtel de ville. C’est son éditrice Fantine de Vilatte qui s’est chargée de recevoir son trophée, une statuette en bronze à l’effigie de Franz Kafka assortie d’une récompense de 10 000 dollars. « Je viens d’avoir Flora au téléphone. Elle vous remercie chaleureusement. Ce prix lui fait particulièrement plaisir, tant l’œuvre de Kafka est pour elle une intarissable source d’admiration, de réflexion et d’inspiration », a assuré Mme de Vilatte. Ce prix, remis par la Franz Kafka Society en collaboration avec la municipalité de Prague, est décerné depuis 2001 par un jury international.
