Water/Dock goes two-way

 

Water/Dock pano, originally uploaded by Josh Derr.

As mentioned by @epc and @DumboNYC, Dock street and a small section of Water street in Dumbo have been striped for two way traffic. What’s odd is that such a tiny section of Water has been converted to two-way traffic; basically between Dock and New Dock. So from Fulton to Main, Water goes two, one, two, then one way again. ==-=—-

Why? My guess is that its to facilitate access to the space DOT has setup underneath the Brooklyn bridge for the upcoming painting project. The far end of Water street near Old Fulton is complicated by ongoing water main work.

On an aesthetic note, paint stripes don’t go well on the belgian brickwork.

    Hey Josh,
    Great stuff here and on DUMBONYC. I’ve been following your work on Flickr too. I’m a designer here in DUMBO. I’m currently in the process of redoing my website (loopdesigngroup.com) and I was wondering if you’d consider letting me use one of your great panorama shots on my “About” page? (full attribution obviously). Thanks for your time, and I look forward to seeing more work in the future.

    I couldn’t figure out your email address to help you on a Dumbo Arts Festival photo but I hope you get this message. Andrea Cote (www.andreacote.com) is the artist making head clay sculptures and Mike Drisgula was the photographer doing the photos/video.

    I”m not her or related to her but was a subject (that is not me in the photo) and she should’ve had a sign.

    Thanks Anon. I’ll update the photo with the info. (And apparently I need to add a contact page to my website too)

    Josh,
    Thanks for making the change. She did a great job, but needed to do a better job letting people know who she was (she and the other guy didn’t even volunteer their names when I sat down) and marketing themselves.

    And, yes, a contact page would be helpful.

    And great photos by the way, too.
