Phew! Thanks 4:37. I was beginning to feel really bad about my sarcastic use of “uh.” 12:42, public works projects do cost more and take longer than private projects and it’s rarely due to malfeasance.
i walk by this every day also and you have no clue what it’s going to look like yet.
you’re just a bitter soul.
the new plaza will be a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. if you had any experience with construction at all, you’d realize that the majority of the beautiful stuff we will eventually see and use happens at the very end of the project. as in the next 2-3 months before it opens.
uh, 3:21, I walk by the site every single day. unless they build madison square garden under there, there has not been enough work done on that site to justify 2 years and 15 million dollars. there’s never any work being done there and I’m afraid us taxpayers have been taken for a ride. if they were going to keep the plaza the same and just build an auditorium underneath it, they should have billed it as an auditorium project, not a plaza renovation….
uh, 12:42, does the plaza look the same because you cannot see the auditorium that is now underneath it?
AL, you are in fact looking at a photo of a floating pool that is planned to be open in July. Once docks are built elsewhere in the city, it will relocate next year.
The Brooklyn Library Plaza renovation is a joke. It looks almost identical to how it was 2 years and 15 million dollars ago. This should be a scandal. Someone walked away with a lot of money for nothing……
What is this pool? I am seen this before and wanted to know more about it? Is it open to the public???
