The winds, yesterday, Sunday, February 10, 2008 were so striong that the force partially ripped the construction canopy off of the Roosevelt Island Bridge. Traffic was not effected but the sound was amazing as the canopy ripped in the strong winds. No word as to how long Skanska will need to repair the canopy or its effect on the ongoing construction project.
the opening has revealed a large span of green paint... i wonder if that is an old color they stripped down to, the future color, or just a primer. it would be a nice change from the blood red (which faded to the pink we now see).
All comments are now moderated and due to the nature that this blog is INACTIVE comments left will only be periodically reviewed and approved if at all.
Where previous comments were essentially unmoderated I have grown tired at seeing the same old comments posted by a few individuals unhappy about the state of various affairs on this island. My suggestion is find a constructive and new outlet for your grievances. Better yet get involved and change things if you desire change. If you are looking for time to stand still ...deal with it as it's not happening.
Perhaps start your own blog. They are free at Blogger.com
