A car turns left onto West 256th Street from Mosholu Avenue against traffic — apparently ignoring local laws stipulating no cars can turn onto the street during morning drop-off on school days at P.S. 81. Parents and neighbors have complained of rampant traffic problems during the early morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up rushes.

A lone bar stool sits next to the bar inside Barcelona Bites, the clubby West 242nd Street tapas lounge where — to the chagrin of some neighbors — parties pulsed well past midnight on weekends. Until, that is, the joint recently shut down, owing in part to the fact the state’s liquor authority said it no longer could legally serve booze, a decision Community Board 8 played a part in.

Some SNAD supporters call the plan a grave mistake.

Neighbors quiver over city’s scheme to dismantle SNAD

Some people are just about shuddering from anxiety over how overhauled Special Natural Area District regulations could irrevocably transform the essentially unchanged landscape they’ve relished for generations. more
