The OWNER should be cleaning it up, but do you really expect that to happen?<br /><br />@1:20pm: EXACTLY! NYC is the center of the full-employment-forever-for- construction-workers universe. Here's my take: It's abundantly clear that nobody in NYC government gives a rat's rear end about ANYTHING getting done on time, at or under budget, and correctly. But hey, if they did it right the first time, those workers wouldn't get hired again to fix it soon afterwards, right? And then there'd be tons of unemployed construction workers, who wouldn't vote the way they're supposed to vote.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-9674007306496017822016-09-05T18:02:09.787-04:002016-09-05T18:02:09.787-04:00What's wrong with the weeds ?

But the fact remains that this whole project and many others around the city are a trough for the building trades and contractors and we're paying for it all... the delays, the inconveniences and the second rate work and design ideas. cmarrtyynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-68840397953125239192016-09-05T12:33:06.585-04:002016-09-05T12:33:06.585-04:00It's definitely a start.

But what about the weeds on the lot next to the sidewalk? Those weeds have amassed into such a large size, it is impossible to walk on the sidewalk. Most of the weeds are growing under and around the fence. The inside of the lot is starting to resemble a tropical forrest. What is the city doing about that? I realize there are two graves there for those fallen young men, which I am not even certain if they are real graves, but why can't someone go in and remove the weeds? Its looks hideous. If someone does nothing, it will only look worse. If I called 311, would they provide any information surrounding whom is in charge? As a community, how can we do something to make it look better? <br /><br />Happy Labor Day! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
