Have You Been ‘Le Duped’? When outdoor dining season hits, you’ll still see 70+ outdoor seating in front of Le Dive - and here’s why: neighborsoncanal.com/le-dupe…

What can you do to help? Support the local Chinatown businesses that are at risk (see below image). Don’t let Dimes Square erase the neighborhood that these small businesses call home.

The vitriol against displacement and extreme gentrification in #dimessquare is palpable. @NYC_DOT Open Streets program has been instrumental in the explosion of popularity of this corner of Chinatown. These flyers include a QR code linking to instagram.com/fuckdimessquar…. .

Many thanks to our Clean Streets ambassadors for keeping the street curbs clear of snow during this brutal cold weather.

311 said to call DOT.
So I called @NYC_DOT Manhattan Commisioner Ed Pincar Jr. But 212-839-6210 rings a few times then goes to a recording: “the person you’re trying to reach hasn’t set up their voice mailbox.“ so there’s no way to leave a message. C’mon Ed! set up your VM! – at Manhattan, NY
Open Streets partner is responsible for all removing barricades for emergency responders. Watch as the OS Partner proves themselves incapable of this basic responsibility, adding 2min+ to the ambulance response time so folks can drink alfresco in Dimes Square. @NYC_DOT
This is what a Tuesday at 6pm looks like in Dimes Square with Open Streets in place. Give us our neighborhood back @NYC_DOT !

Were you stuck in traffic on Allen Street yesterday? @NYC_DOT 's closure of Canal Street created dangerous conditions for emergency egress when a robbery/shooting happened a block away. See ambulances stuck on traffic on Allen Street: youtu.be/9mPZjSqwgwg
