I thought new york city was the greatest city in the world then and i do. Its quintessential new york. Its exciting. You see how new york is a Cross Cultural place. I love it. Reporter stacey delikat, fox 5 news. Kerry we have the president of the times square alliance. Thanks for joining us. Lets start with something you said in an interview last fall that i liked. You said, quote, this is times square, quirky is fine, but creepy is not. What did you mean . Its been a crazy, unusual place. Thats what people like about it. So thats fine. Theres always been naked folks, but some of the characters have gotten very aggressive. Many are honest, hardworking people, but some are very aggressive. A female member of my staff said elmo grabbed my rear end. One time last year we counted 200 solicitors and characters. Its the sheer number of them and some of them are bad apples. Thats why we need regulation. Kerry the characters, a lot hang out in the pedestrian plazas. We heard about the city council legislation. You say this would be beneficial, not only for times city. Why is that . We want to thank Corey Johnson and the people in the administration and gail brewer for supporting the legislation. The pedestrian plazas are important new public spaces where you have to have the tools to manage them. The legislation, its simple, says like you can manage and regulate a park, you can manage and regulate the plazas, which used to be streets. Clarify that. Kerry a lot of new yorkers, youll hear that times square is too congested. Im going to stay away. What are some things that can be done to help that situation to make it less congested . One of the key things is adding the pedestrian plazas. This was the no. 1 complaint 10 years ago. Also, its under construction. At any given time, its very crowded because of the construction. One thing is we get the project done a year from now. That will help a lot. The other thing is we want to part of the new legislation is to have criteria to limit the number of commercial events on the plazas. Thats important. Kerry times square a big draw with tourists, but a lot of new yorkers, people who live here, stay away. What can you do to bring them back to times square . Part of it is we have to deal with the unpleasant things that have been happening. We found that 45 percent of the people who work in times square have had an unpleasant character or solicitor. Part is taking care of the negative things. 78 percent of new yorkers wanted them to become permanent and stay. So part of it is about dealing with the bad stuff and letting the full life of the city happen in times square. It is the second best show on broadway. Its the life of the city when youre watching it. Kerry lets talk about the positives. You love times square. What are some of your favorite things . I love the spontaneity, the energy, the lights and signs, but most of all, broadway. Its where you get the sense of this is an asset we dont have anywhere in the world. Thats why times square will always be a major draw and will always be the no. 1 economic driver in new york city. Kerry tim, good to see you. Thanks so much.

Time for sports with russ. A lot of nfl free agent signings to talk about. Thats having a big impact on the jets. Russ hopefully it wont be a negative impact. Right now jets and their fans got to be holding their collective breaths. It started yesterday. Brock osweiler, considered the heir apparent to peyton manning, he goes as a free agent to the houston texans. That leads a situation for Ryan Fitzpatrick. Him and the jets arent close in terms of a contract situation. Now the question is will fitzpatrick be a candidate to go to the broncos because the head coach of the broncos is gary kubiak, who was his head coach with the texans. Ive got to tell you, if he leaves, depending what the jets end up with, that could be a real, real step backwards for the jets. If he packs up and leaves . Russ a couple of things. It doesnt necessarily have to be a disaster because the jets have expressed interest as well the broncos and the browns and the quarterback for the 49ers. I think if they get kapernik, that will be a good thing for the jets if hes healthy. If they dont, again, the jets made great stride, even though they didnt get into the playoffs. But if they end up without fitzpatrick and without kapernik, where do they go . It would be a step backwards. Kerry where does it leave the jets in they have geno smith. Russ bite your tongue. Hes not the future. Hes not the guy. That decision was made listen, he lost his job last hes not the guy for the job. Fitzpatrick took over and did a wonderful job at it. They cant go with geno smith. One way or the other, if its not Ryan Fitzpatrick or kapernik, they better pull somebody out of a hat. Smith has to be yesterdays news.
