This is an easy one. Cities like New York learned long ago that you cannot maintain grass without management in dense urban areas. Dogs especially destroy open lawns, but so do all kinds of heavy use, especially in the off-season.
If you look at spaces like Madison Square Park, the grass is entirely fenced off with mesh and stakes and specific gates are opened (and rotated) to enable use of the lawn at appropriate times. Hamilton Park lacks those barriers and this is the result.

Reply to NJ-bound side of Holland Tunnel to close overnight for nearly 3 years by Blecher_onthe_Hudson
You would think they would pair this with an announcement about improved PATH service during this period to compensate, especially since THE SAME AGENCY runs both the tunnel and PATH...
... but alas, no.

Really? In NYC the procedure is to first have the police come and ticket the driver for blocking a driveway (which is state law). After there is a ticket on the vehicle, you can then call a tow truck to take it away and they are happy to make $$$$ and do so.

Reply to NJCU is laying off 30 professors, eliminating 37% of academic programs by mooseLimbsCatLicks
They lost me at the stupid name. JCU, fine. NJU, fine. CUNJ, fine. But they never should have gone for the dumb and insanely confusing NJCU rebrand.

Reply to The weekend Hoboken PATH stop can rot by akowz
Direct service on the weekends was suspended "temporarily" for WTC reconstruction in 2006. It never came back.
Port Authority is completely unaccountable for their actions.

Reply to Is CLEAR membership worth it for mainly usage of EWR/FLL/MIA/LAX? by thebusiness7
Nope. Just get Precheck, CLEAR really only works at certain airports with single mega lines where the ID check is out of control, like Orlando or Atlanta.
It's also a Delta product so often only found at airports with a large Delta presence.
