Isn’t NYC a non-attainment zone for the Clean Air Act? How is possible to skirt the EPA so nonchalantly?

Meech, I use that garage too.
In all my years I have barely seen 10 cars there at night …
It is interesting that all the parkign lots and garges around have excess capacity ..
Why do you need this garage again???

I think this is much ado about nothing. The building they tore down in that location WAS a three-level parking garage, with mostly monthly NYC-based tenants. How do I know? I was one of them. Since then, the neighborhood has lost at least five substantial garages and/or lots to Sam Chang’s hotel speculation and is in danger of losing another soon.

The re-introduction of a garage should not change the traffic flow substantially — at least one half of the old garage was filled with tenants who parked overnight or commercial vehicles who cannot park on the street overnight. If a garage can’t be near a major river crossing where CAN they be?

I was watching a real estate show on the CUNY channel. Some downtown Brooklyn developers were talking about building a 700-car and a 300-car garage in their buildings.

Is there some alternate definition of “planning” that we don’t know about, that might explain the disaster popularly known as the City “Planning” Commission?

Resign, Amanda!
