i never understood why people here in the Bronx NY are so opposed to
construction noise until now.
for the last 8 years--eight years daily construcion noise has been going on
example--using jacjhammer grapplers to remove a 75 by 20 by 15 chunch of
solid rock--you can imagine how long that took--starts on Sat morning at 8am
removing at least 1/4 mile of solid rock 4 feet thick using buzz
drills--never mind the rock dust on this one.--soild engineer had no idea
what type of rock they where removing.
now to top it off--probably cleaniong up a contaminated site--3 i repeat 3
jackhammer grapplers attacking solid rock at least 30 feet by 20 feet deep
6 repeat 6 huge diesel trucks on a cold morning running their engines from 6
am till 8am--totally asphyixiating the neighboorhood--drank diesel fumes
with my coffee
and this one--the city uses leaf blowers starting at 7:30 am on sat and
sunday am to remove leaves in a park surrounded by homes--city tells me they
have to remove the leaves
3 icecream trucks with their repeating music of all around the mulberry tree
on one corner
i no longer trust the city or the construction people and i if i had the
powere prevent all construction in my neighboorhood for any purpsoe until
teh noise and fumes issue is addressed.
one other thing--city had to build a water filtration under a park--you can
imagine the fight that this lead to--city and state gave the bronx--i repeat
250 million dollars to shut up--you can imagine what the park department is
doing with these bucks to the parks in the Bronx ( i know this is a side
issue but important
fwiw
