INTERSTATE BUSES

Leader of Gun Smuggling Ring Sentenced: Chinatown Buses used to transport weapons.

Remember some time ago, these smugglers were caught. Their deadly load was transported in Interstate buses. One of the leaders of that illegal gun-running operation that used Chinatown buses to transport weapons from southern states has been sentenced to 25 years in prison. Read about it in The Lo-Down.

We now have a page devoted to Interstate Buses. Be sure to read about the status of YEP Bus.

SEWARD PARK WITHOUT BORDERS / STRAUS SQUARE

It is anticipated that construction in Library Plaza and around the park will begin in the fall of 2018.

Meanwhile, changes are afoot in Straus Square and Canal Street between the Park and the Square. Canal Street has been closed and repaved. Potted Plants have been placed to serve as traffic barriers. Seating will be added soon. Missing trees will be planted and tree guards installed around all of the tree pits.
