So now fixed-wing aircraft must be "UNLESS AUTHORIZED AND BEING CONTROLLED
BY ATC" in that particular corridor.

This helps how?

Does anyone know which radar(s) has coverage of the area? If it is a
typical
terminal radar, then ATC will be dealing with returns that are, on
average,
at least 3.5 seconds old. How is ATC going to prevent anyone from getting
into
a situation where they can't out turn or out climb obstacles?

I believe the idea is that ATC won't clear you into the East River unless
they can clear you to continue into LGA's Class B. That way you never have
to make the U-turn.

So this regulation does indeed address the problem.
