Tribeca residents have kicked up a tempest over the noise from Pier 26's summer events, and now it seems the Hudson River Park Trust has put an end to the concert series sponsored by The Bowery Presents. In an email, HRPT president and CEO Madelyn Willis apologized to residents and claimed that she and her colleagues "did not realize that sound from Pier 26 with this speaker configuration would reverberate in surrounding buildings to the degree that has been reported." As a result, the last scheduled concert date will be September 7 (Passion Pit, according to the schedule). However, no word on the future of the gay pride events that took place at Pier 26 and initially ruffled the feathers of Tribeca residents. [Tribeca Citizen; Tribeca Trib]
