Weeds and new medians on East Houston

Last month, we talked with a reader, who wondered how tall the weeds would get in the under-construction median on East Houston between Avenue C and Avenue D.

Flashback!


Well, crap. We went back with our measuring tape and found that...


...someone chopped down the weeds ... or they died.


But!

Walk a little further toward Avenue C... and the Field of Weeds picks up again...




Perfect location for our Fall Harvest Celebration!

As I've cut-and-pasted previously, the $60 million Houston Street Corridor Reconstruction is expected to end in the summer of 2014. The plan calls for the widening of sidewalks, enlarging of medians, installating new pavement markings and bicycle lanes from Second Avenue to FDR Drive and creating two new plaza areas.

And things look pretty good the closer you travel east toward the FDR...

I though it was the east side Highline!

This Construction is the most retarded thing ever. There is now literally no way to turn left from Houston onto A, B, C or D. It's a mega clusterfuck.

There is no such thing as weeds. These are native species. And the green, any green, looks so much better than the concrete and asphalt combo.

Love the median, love the traffic calming it creates and we will all love the plantings once they are finalized and mature.
