The battle over the statue of Minerva’s view of the Statue of Liberty is still raging, according to NY1. As discussed in this space before, residents around Greenwood Cemetary are concerned about the planned development at the corner of 23rd Street and 7th Avenue. Architect Robert Scarano says he has redesigned the building’s line of site in response to the community outcry to allow for the view, and he says he may even go one step further and use scaffolding to create a life-size mockup at the site, hoping to get approval from the cemetery, which he claims he really doesn’t need. What’s the matter people, you don’t take Scarano at his word that he has the community’s best interests at heart?
