“It has been super quiet behind the blue construction fence on Court Street between Union and Sackett Streets. After months of constant activity, Clarett’s “Collection On Court” has come to a virtual stand-still. The building driveway ramp and the underground parking garage foundation seem to have been completed, but that is all. Except for a dumpster and a trailer, the lot has been cleared of the usual construction equipment and materials. It now appears that Clarett is closing down the project while they “work out some details.” For how long? That’s anyone’s guess, but it has been suggested that it could be as long as four to five months ( maybe even indefinitely ?) One could imagine that the new economic reality has caught up with Clarrett…Let us hope that Carroll Gardens will not be held hostage by the project. Five months is an awefully long time for the neighborhood to be inconvenienced by the closing of the sidewalks along Union, Court and Sackett and the loss of parking along those blocks.”–PMFA
