Seen & Heard: The Spring Street Salt Shed Is Taking Shape

July 23, 2015 Community News, Construction, Real Estate, Restaurant/Bar News, Shopping

••• As first mentioned here back in 2013, the former National City Bank of New York building at 415 Broadway is going to be Duane Reade (and not a Walgreen’s—I’m sure there’s an important distinction).

••• There is (was?) a groundbreaking ceremony at 111 Murray today.

••• The stink at the northwest corner of Chambers and Church, which had been pretty consistent, was gone last night and still gone this morning; moreover, the workers are gone from Chambers between Church and Broadway. So maybe they fixed it?

••• The sidewalk shed is going up at 149-151 Church, meaning demolition will start soon. The awnings came down the other day, revealing this old sign.

    The city has been doing road work on the corner of Broadway and White for the past 3 nights and they keep drilling/jackhammering til past midnight. Ridiculous how work can still go on in the middle of the night.

      Want peace and quiet? That’s nice. Three words for you: move to Vermont.

        Noise pollution is not an inevitable aspect of city living. New York lags behind other leading global cities in controlling noise. Do not accept the false premise that peace and quiet can only be obtained in Vermont, and demand better from city hall.

    I believe a call to 311 should be made. Oh and anyone who says move out of the city to get a better quality of life should themselves leave since they make the city a dump in many in ways noise can never be
