[Updated] 145 2nd Ave. returns to view

From the Department of Miracles, workers yesterday removed the remainder of the construction netting and scaffolding from the northwest corner of Second Avenue and Ninth Street (145 Second Ave.), as Steven reports  ...
The scaffolding has been here since May 31, 2018, as a local merchant noted on a pole of the sidewalk bridge...
We're told that the sidewalk bridge will remain in place for an unspecified period of time ... providing protection above the former Starbucks, which closed in April 2019, and the co-opted outdoor space that the 13th Step next door is putting to use...

THE SIDEWALK BRIDGE IS COMING DOWN...

What was the reason for the scaffolding? There appeared to be no work being done.

It goes down and comes back up. I feel punished for wanting to walk to Astor Place these days - its all under scaffolding.

disgusting that the douche bar is allowed to use the sidewalk space outside of former Starbucks. Public sidewalk.
