A sidewalk returns to full view and use along St. Mark's Place

Yesterday we reported that workers were finally removing the sidewalk bridge outside 19-23 St. Mark's Place. 

EVG reader KT Hendrickson shared these night/day photos showing the triumphant return of an unencumbered sidewalk between Second Avenue and Third Avenue...
The bridge had been up for some six years. As we understand it, work on the 8-story building was wrapped up last summer ... and apparently, a COVID-era backlog with the city caused delays in the signing off on the work.

I lived behind a sidewalk bridge and scaffolding for like three years. People put up with some outlandish shit around here.

This neighborhood has become a pretty sad place to live in these coming years no sign of any improvements I guess homeowners don’t care anymore about keeping there property’s clean no curb appeal in the Lower East Side of Nyc

Finally! But this area of the block still smells the worst (rotting garbage)
