WTC security extends to streets beyond site.

WTC security extends to streets beyond site.

Downtown Express reports that NYPD will be battening down access to  WTC “campus” in lower Manhattan. This week a new safety plan was presented at Community Board 1’s Redevelopment Committee meeting, and community members were dismayed by the multiple Checkpoint Charlie-like blocks on streets around the site proper. Said one resident of neighboring Cedar Street, “I don’t see a way to go home in a cab in front of my door without going through two checkpoints. We’re not talking about parking – we’re talking about access to the front door the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, with a cab full of groceries and 24 people for dinner.”
