How's the traffic situation around there, in light of the WTC aftermath? Any 
problems?


I live in the lower Manhattan area, just less then a mile from "Ground Zero." 
Traffic conditions as well as all other daily activities are on a day to day 
basis, especially, if there are officials and special people visiting the 
"Ground Zero," which will affect the traffic rules. Yesterday, October 3, 
President Bush had visit the public school PS 130, which is across the street 
where I live and where I also work at the afternoon program. President Bush, 
Gov. Pataki and Mayor Guliani went to visit the children, that witness the 
WTC event. As President Bush past by past in front of my house yesterday in 
his limousine, he gave me the "thumbs up." I returned the thumbs up and I 
saluted him. I was the only one there, besides the police officer on 
assigned to oversee my building. President Bush's visit, had "locked down" 
the whole lower Manhattan from 7 AM to 2 PM. I couldn't even leave my 
building, until he had left and they mean it!

So far, the only traffic condition that is in effect, is that all vehicles 
traveling INTO Manhattan during the hours of 6 AM to 12 PM noon, from Monday 
to Friday, must have two or more people. This is in effect for the all 
bridges and tunnels and traveling south bound below 63rd Street. You will be 
turned away or possibly be fined if you are alone. The exceptions are: 
emergency vehicles, livery plates, federal, state or city operated vehicles 
and people who are "special officials." 

Of course, this can change right after I post this.

Since the DeLorean event is held on the 27 and the 28, which is a weekend, it 
shouldn't affect us, unless you are returning via or thru Manhattan early 
Monday morning the day after.

BTW, I do hope to attend the meet, if my schedule permits. I do need a brake 
from work and all of the activities in this area. See you, if I can...
