Factoids

Park Row has been closed to general traffic since 2001 due to security concerns for NYPD headquarters. This closure caused frustrations among nearby residents, citing disruption and reduced accessibility. While some accommodations, like reopening foot and cycling traffic and limited bus access, were made to balance security with public use, complaints persisted.
