Re: Hospital Hill activity
What's the giant tower crane in the front yard of the TMC inpatient building? It almost looks like they would be adding on vertically?

They are just finishing up the last parking level and attaching the hangers for the curtain wall on the north side.

Will cover the value of the building not the replacement cost to rebuild and duplicate an antique building.

Re: New Broadway Bridge
The Oak and Rockhill bridges over Brush Creek are good examples of basic concrete bridges with cosmetic upgrades to make them aesthetically pleasing. The steel railings give the impression of graceful suspension bridges.

Union Hill Founders had 21 burst pipes last week flooding things including units to the point people have to move out and parking garages.

Re: 29 Belleview Town Homes
There was a group out picketing this site yesterday, decrying "gentrification" and saying they want nothing built here. These look to be very modest units and I would guess not expensive to rent. How can building on a long vacant overgrown lot be gentrification?

Probably exterior fire sprinkler. Union Hill had same problem and they had to put a grate allowing room air into the chase that held the supply pipe.

Re: New Broadway Bridge
Now I see that the nb 35 is 1 lane from watching the flyover video. It is the Broadway northbound that is 2 lanes that merge into one as it crosses the river. Why have 2 lanes from Broadway at all? Unless it may reduce some back up in rush hour onto surface street.

Re: New Broadway Bridge
The 169 northbound as it connects onto the bridge appears to be a fairly severe dog leg. The Broadway ramp onto the bridge merges/yields right past this. What is the speed limit going to be?

Re: OFFICIAL - 46 Penn Centre
At first I was leery of the giant TV on top, thought it was going to be used for banal advertising. They are using it for artist designed kinetic art that is quite beautiful.

And right at the top of the escalator is the "Picnic" luncheonette. I would love to see some photos of the West Village shops between Halls and the rest of the CC shops.
