Does anyone know how the process would be handled in this case?<br /><br />Perhaps what is needed is an FDB/8th Ave association or BID that could coordinate and support the installation of trees and other improvements, and perhaps also additional trash and litter clean-up.<br /><br />Sure, some individual buildings can (and will) take measures in their immediate vicinity, but far better if it could be organized into a much more comprehensive effort...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-1754605132022483462010-09-23T18:05:29.726-04:002010-09-23T18:05:29.726-04:00The buildings themselves could spring for some tre...The buildings themselves could spring for some trees and plants in planters, especially if, as you suggest, the subway is a problem.

I live in the livmor and find it funny that the other day i walked east on 115th from manhattan avenue and you could hear the birds chirping in the trees, but on FDB there are no trees or any sort of landscaping.<br /><br />As to a sports bar in the building, i guess as long as it is all indoor, not a bad tenant. And considering i hear people out and about until 2am now as it is, it could not really hurt. I would think retail space being full would be a good thing for being able to sell as no one wants to see empty storefronts.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-20192030392972828602010-09-23T13:04:52.118-04:002010-09-23T13:04:52.118-04:00I do wish these buildings would plant trees and do...I do wish these buildings would plant trees and do some landscaping.

From famine to feast in a fairly short amount of time.<br /><br />Good to see this part of FDB coming along so well.<br /><br />Now if only Chocolat would lower its prices. Though I guess the increased competition will force them to before long.Vic Vegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17223286245820221712noreply@blogger.com
