---NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES TRAFFIC CLOSURES FOR
PRESIDENTIAL VISIT AND UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The New York City Police Department today announced the street closures
and other traffic issues that will occur during the President's visit
and the United Nations General Assembly this week. Due to these traffic
restrictions, drivers should expect delays in the following areas.
PRESIDENTIAL VISIT
President Bush will be arriving in Manhattan on Tuesday, September 23,
and departing on Wednesday, September 24. During his visit, his
motorcade will close parts of the FDR Drive from Whitehall Street to
East 42nd Street , as well as routes between the United Nations, the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, and the Museum of Natural History.
UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The United Nations General Assembly will take place from Tuesday,
September 23, to Friday, September 26. During these days, the following
streets will be closed:
FDR Drive between 23rd and 63rd Streets
First Avenue between 40th and 49th Streets
Second Avenue between 34th and 57th Streets
42nd Street between First and Second Streets
44th Street between First and Second Streets
46th Street between First and Second Streets
48th Street between First and Second Streets
The New York City Police Department encourages the public to use mass
transit during these events. Drivers should avoid the Midtown area, or
expect significant delays and heavy congestion.---
I don't mind the UN being here that much. I don't mind a seated president visiting that much. But Dubya will be here for two days. I think the president, regardless of party of politics, should really try to do all his business here in one day. (And I did feel the same way when Clinton came to town as well. He came so often that I began to call the traffic jams in his wake "Bubbalock." Guess this time it's Dubyalock.)
Of course, I also think no sensible New yorker ever drives to work in the city.
