There won't be any skating on Extell Lake this winter : (


[Photo Monday by Michael Paul]

Early last week, a resident who lives near the dual Extell buildings under construction on East 14th Street between Avenue A and Avenue B noted the arrival of generators that are running 24/7.

The resident tried the community email address that's posted on the East 14th Street field office, but it bounced back.

Anyway, a resident spoke with a supervisor type at the site about the generators. Turns out they power pumps that keep the water levels down at the site.

Water Levels = Extell Lake!

... and a photo of The Blarney Cove Cove from July 2014...



Anyway, the pumping will likely mean there won't be any skating this winter on Extell Lake, an alternative to The Ice at Stuy Town and the East River (remember?) ...

Also, the Extell community email address still doesn't work, as we learned yesterday...

While 500 E. 14th St. between Avenue A and Avenue B awaits its 7-floor retail-residential building from Extell Development, the standing water remains frozen solid on the lot...

Commenters on our previous Extell Lake post seemed to like the idea of an ice rink here for the winter... an alternative to The Ice at Stuy Town...

Extell Lake



Permits for the two, 7-floor retail-residential buildings from Extell Development along East 14th Street are still pending.

According to DOB records, the city disapproved the plans for the building at 500 E. 14th St. (at Avenue A) back on Nov. 18. (The city disapproved the plans for 524 E. 14th St. on Sept. 18.)

Meanwhile, a nearby resident points out that the empty lot at No. 500 filled up with water (again) after last Tuesday's rain … (the reader wondered if there is something going on with the area's water table … )





And an aerial shot of Extell Lake…



Also, on Friday, new rat baiting signs went up along the plywood…



Maybe workers plan on drowning the rats?
