The NYPD and the Times Square Business Improvement District (TS-BID) have issued a traffic alert for the Theatre District, effective through 7 PM this evening. A demonstration "protesting President Clinton's visit to Columbia" is taking place in the Theatre District and patrons can expect delays on 42 Street around the Sixth Avenue area. This may affect nearby traffic patterns and patrons may wish to adjust their travel plans.
