And he's from Queens too. What is this: Hollywood rules. Will he be getting an Academy Award on-air mention?<br />I thought Brad Lander had the canal in his district, and Carlos Menchaca as well.<br /><br />TOMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-1010941885351719362014-05-14T10:10:47.099-04:002014-05-14T10:10:47.099-04:00Our May 3 canoe voyage spotted plenty of Coneys Is...Our May 3 canoe voyage spotted plenty of Coneys Island whitefish.

Millions for this fetid body of water. the canal should have been damned, drained then filled in. and green space should be a top it.<br /><br />The sewerage pipes leading into the canal should have been addressed, because as long as they are feeding into the canal, nothing will be solved.<br /><br />This whole project is a complete waste of our tax payers money.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10697034402210689265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-33500407725093907702014-05-12T21:57:54.297-04:002014-05-12T21:57:54.297-04:00Well it certainly doesn't look like there is m...Well it certainly doesn't look like there is much improvement in the water with all three pumps running, certainly not what was expected from all those DEP presentations on the work. <br /><br />I think part of the problem may be that the East River water has also been particularly smelly lately. Just moving that water into the canal where it mixes with all the recent CSO water, just doesn't seem to be doing much for the pea-soup green, oil covered canal water.<br /><br />Guess it will take some time to dilute it all with East River water. Maybe, with three pumps, by August we will see some positive color change to the canal water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
