While it was initially expected that construction on Phase Two of the Bushwick Inlet Park development would begin in the spring, as often happens with construction projects, there has been a holdup gumming the works.
Apparently the issue was getting the NYC Comptroller’s office to OK the contractor on the job. That’s apparently finally happened but it’s caused a 3 month delay.
The new hope is that we’ll be seeing a groundbreaking for the Community and Parks building at North 9th and Kent Avenue with the sloped green roof either in late June or early July of 2010.
After that construction should take approximately 18 months. Look for the new building’s completion around November of 2011.
What’s up at the Motiva Lot? Inquring minds want to know. After the volunteers at NYC Community Cleanup worked tirelessly last week to pick up trash and other debris from the regularly neglected strip of public sidewalk adjacent to the chain link enclosed lot, the land behind the fence got something of a makeover of its own yesterday. By the looks of it, Paul Bunyan stopped by and swung his axe 50 times or so, downing only the littlest trees. Although that may sound like bad news, it does mean passersby can get a better view of the inlet now.
The typically trashed stretch of public sidewalk adjacent to the Bushwick Inlet got some loving care today thanks to the efforts of NYC Community Cleanup.
