Amazing that after all the flooding caused by Hurricane Sandy this dense residential development project is still allowed to move forward. Shows the power that the real estate lobby has in the city.
All other issues aside, that canal STINKS. Really, really smells like a sewer a lot of the time. I can not believe they are building something this size on the "banks" of the canal. The residents will never be able to open their windows… yikes.
These artist depictions look great.. finally some new housing. and the EPA is making the City clean up the Canal. Hopefully new access to the water will be provided.
Currently, Lightstone is pile driving from 7:00 AM - 2:30 PM daily. The noise is horrendous. There are better methods of pile driving that don't make as much noise, such as Helical pile driving. They are utilizing the helical system at the construction site of State and Smith St. next to the court house, specifically so there wouldn't be noise. Residents near 1st and Bond cannot remain in their homes during the time of pile driving, cannot open their windows. Some people work from home and are unable to do so at this time. Lightstone had no regard for the residents in the area. We feel helpless against this behemoth.
