The street onto which I look out, is a somewhat busy street, as it takes traffic from the Holland Tunnel. Well, a wonderful thing has happened. The bike lanes have been changed and now run next to the curb. That means that parking is 6 feet out from the curb. Then a left turn lane was added leaving only two lanes for traffic because the other side of the street is also for parking. Since there are only two lanes for through traffic, FedEx, UPS and all delivery trucks take up one of the lanes for unloading, which means there is only room for one lane of traffic. My outside window noise has decreased by 90%. The traffic has rerouted itself to other streets. In addition, someone has complained about compliance and the bottles from the restaurant on the corner are no longer picked up at 5:30 a.m.; now closer to noon. It is as if I have moved to the Park. Remember I have two huge trees outside my windows and now with the quiet… well the result is sure to be that my rent will rise.
