[The new ones have narrow, anti-terrorism / anti-theft slots.]<br /><br />One could perhaps mail a letter, sit, & and admire the school's hawthorn trees.<br /><br />Especially since The Bean's community benches on 9th Street are now gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-73681507151088172422021-04-02T20:51:28.698-04:002021-04-02T20:51:28.698-04:00They put the scaffolding in middle of July 2019 bu...They put the scaffolding in middle of July 2019 but then they didn’t do anything till late August. Then the school year started so they were not able to operate at during the day. So every day work started at 4pm and will end at midnight (loud, noisy, light projectors operating 24/7). By January 2020 they were done. Bu the scaffolding stayed for another 14 months because why not. This is the Department of Education division of school fasciitis. Meanwhile it has been 14 months that the public has no access to the amazing PS19 playground that was renovated with funding from the Trust for Public land that donated $850,000 out of a $1,000,000 budget under the condition that it will be open for the public after school hours, during the weekend and throughout the summer. A condition that the city stopped funding for a year ago (funding to pay the school custodian to maintain the park).Choresh Waldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938663493662725153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-48590595464939984892021-04-02T16:53:53.366-04:002021-04-02T16:53:53.366-04:00I would be curious to know how long that scaffoldi...I would be curious to know how long that scaffolding was up?
