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. A detailed statement on comments and WSR policy can be read here.
Those pesky (and overly perky) sidewalk solicitors drive me crazy.
How about E-bikers on the sidewalks, and, going in the wrong direction in the bike lane – cutting you off as you attempt to cross the street. Now that scary!
The 103rd Street daylighting barricades are great, not scary.
How about a pile of feces? It’s everywhere thanks to the wretched dog owners of the UWS. And it’s pretty terrifying.
