GRIDLOCK ALERT: THE OBAMAS HIT THE UWS TODAY

If you’re anywhere in the West 60’s this afternoon, you may have some trouble moving around. President Obama and First lady Michelle Obama are taping an appearance on The View at 65th Street and West End Avenue around 1:30 p.m. and the area could be shut down into the mid-afternoon, says traffic expert Gridlock Sam Schwartz. That’s in addition to the citywide traffic nightmare known as a weeklong UN meeting. Obama will be in the city overnight so he can address the UN on Tuesday.

Please limit comments to 150 words and keep them civil and relevant to the article at hand. Comments are closed after six days. Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.
