West Side (Manhattan)

The West Side of Manhattan refers to the side of Manhattan Island which abuts the Hudson River and faces New Jersey. Fifth Avenue, Central Park, and lower Broadway separate it from the East Side. The major neighborhoods on the West Side are (from north to south) Inwood, Hudson Heights, Washington Heights, West Harlem, Morningside Heights, Manhattan Valley, Upper West Side, Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea, West Village, SoHo, and Tribeca. The 8th Avenue and West Side subway lines connect all parts of the West Side. The main north-south roads servicing the West Side are the Henry Hudson Parkway in the north, and the West Side Highway in the south. The Hudson River Greenway separates them from the west shore of the island.

Redevelopment

The Far West Side would have been the location of West Side Stadium, which was intended as the Olympic stadium for the New York City bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics. After the rejection of the $2 billion stadium plan that would also lure the New York Jets to Manhattan, developers made plans, including the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project, to redevelop the West Side with a mix of commercial and residential buildings.

gollark: Does anyone know where I can get help on weird SQLite issues? A query in my application was really slow when running but fine when I ran it in `sqlite3`, and I tracked it down to the query planner generating different code for a prepared statement using parameter binding versus one which just contains the value directly.
gollark: Never mind, I checked nimble instead of just the stdlib, there is a thing for this.
gollark: Is there something like `mktemp` available which generates a random folder under `/tmp`? `os.getTempDir()` has a bunch of warnings and also seems to only find the platform equivalent of `/tmp`.
gollark: I found that `cast[int64]` works, although it may be horribly unsafe.
gollark: I have a thing which fills an array with secure random bytes and I want an integer from it, basically.
