more years of endless construction obstruction being planned in the park! hurrah!
I agree, the residents of Avenues B, C and D should just go Venice-style.
The short coming of this plan is that it does not identify the cause of the power failure at the electric plant. Was it flooding? Was it debris? Was it other junction boxes that flooded simultaneously? Or something else. A comprehensive plan must identify the source of the power failure and address measures that experts believe will provide failsafe prevention in the future.
