Please pardon me for using your space: All the people have come to agree. Also me. (Thank you)
Is the total unit count for the development still 655, with 384 units being in this specific building or has the unit count been lowered from 655 to 384?
I will miss this green space terribly. It was here I heard the crow of a hen in Manhattan for the first time. These gardens have (had) a beautiful energy of their own, growing food, flowers, trees, life. To me the loss is tragic.
Gentrification at a Grand Escala!
I thought they were not going to touch community gardens. I guess everything is available at a price?
The lot is not vacant. There are six community gardens and their ecosystems that aid in the environment of East Harlem that will be destroyed. The Plants and trees along with the anbirds and squirrels remain. Hopefully, a monarch will stop by as they have done in the past. The community gardens will return, on the 111th street side of the street, smaller than they were. Community gardens are viewed as housing. The sweat equity of the volunteers are disregarded; they have done the work for the developers and HPD of leveling the land.
It was never a ” cimmunity harden” it was a filthy junk yard, I have lived across the st. for 38 years snd never remember seeing a garden. A junk yyard is what it was!
