So, the longstanding mystery of that big empty lot between N. 11th and N. 12th Streets on Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg has been solved. It will soon be a big parking lot. Alternately, the site has said to be too toxic for a development, as it was the location of a chemical or paint plant back in the day, or much less dramatically, if just as potentially toxic, the subject of a dispute in the Hasidic community that dates to when the property was worth a heck of a lot less than it is today. Regardless, in the short term, it will be the spot for $7 a day parking. It should be an interesting test of where the Williamsburg market is in terms of paid parking.
