Also, 16 stories is hardly a "tower". There are taller buildings than that along the park in a number of areas (especially, but not exclusively around Grand Army) and those areas are healthy and beautiful, and if you walk half a block away from the high rises you'd hardly know they were there.<br /><br />And as you say, the area is a dead zone, and this would be much, much better than that. There's no reason to believe that some alternative fantasy project would even be economical, let alone that its on offer. This creates something of value for the neighborhood in a space that currently provides none.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-73985465745133765502016-12-19T09:07:59.676-05:002016-12-19T09:07:59.676-05:00Anonymous at 12/17/16 2:34 PM

Winthrop 1 and 2, have had two Victorian/colonials demolished over the past few years, where two ugly/balcony buildings-with no architectural details have been erected; very sad.<br />On a daily someone rings my bell asking if I'm ready to sell. I'm even getting phone calls-regularly about the same thing. Lately I've been asked would I be interested on a joint venture, since withing the next five years, most of these homes will be sold anyway-and converted to buildings. Apparently someone is paying attention to homeowners who are applying for work permits-which I have. I wonder sometimes if the developers have someone inside providing them with information?<br />It's getting ridiculous.<br />Q do you know if Fennimore 2 was successful?<br /><br /><br />Fenimore 2 was successful (after much delay) in getting CB9 to be co-applicant for a ULURP application to change the zoning from R6 to R2. We will be meeting in early January to get the ball rolling on the PAS (pre-application statement) which precedes the actual application. As the urban planning consultant retained by Fenimore 2, I will be - along with the special joint sub-committee that we are putting together of CB9 and Fenimore Street Block Association members - updating the full Board and public on how we are proceeding forward.<br /><br />Paul Graziano, Principal<br />Associated Cultural Resource ConsultantsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-63405537338828756352016-12-18T18:26:48.183-05:002016-12-18T18:26:48.183-05:00Anon, maybe you should direct your questions to Al...Anon, maybe you should direct your questions to Alicia Boyd.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792646871333738725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-48242450362790770142016-12-16T21:10:55.999-05:002016-12-16T21:10:55.999-05:00I'd much prefer lower buildings of course, but...I'd much prefer lower buildings of course, but for the most part I've always been for building more housing. However, for the last year until recently I had been freelancing and was doing quite a bit of my work on the road with my boss. Now that I am sort of in the grind again I am blown away by the amount of people using the Q, B, 5, 2 lines. I honestly don't know how the MTA is going to keep up. Every day this week I have been jammed up on a train for a considerable spell.<br /><br />--joshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-2613114267420138242016-12-16T20:00:59.624-05:002016-12-16T20:00:59.624-05:00Oh.
