After nearly four decades years of construction and confusion and chaos (and what not), you could actually say that there's progress to note at Avenue A with the East Houston Reconstruction Project.

See — less confusion and chaos. You can see the streets! And new curbs!





An aside, does anyone know how to get to the hospital… oh, forget it!



Anyway …





And via Twitter, EVG reader Mike Brown reminded us of the new Greenstreets and street configurations on these corners…

The East Houston Reconstruction Project is now scheduled (PDF!) to be completed by mid-2016, according to the latest city estimates.

    But is there an app to get around here?

    There's a hospital around here? I thought Bloomberg turned them all into condos.

    Punjabi is so screwed. :( Nowhere for cabbies to pull over and grab a samosa.

    They'll move on to the place at Crosby between Houston and Prince (another taxi Indian food pop-in).
