Development Notebook: Toxic Bedford Ave. Site Still Spotty

August 19th, 2008 · 1 Comment

We checked in on 95 Bedford Avenue over the weekened, the big empty lot that will be the future site of a very large building designed by Karl Fischer. The reason for our interest isn’t so much to plot the progress of excavation work as to see what kind of environmental remediation is being done on the parcel, which used to be the site of a paint factory and is the source of much fear an concern in the neighborhood. In the past, we’ve found soil being removed only party covered by tarps, and on windy days, dust blowing all over the neighborhood. More dirt is covered, but there’s still a tremendous amount exposed and more being excavated.

    Those are some yummy street-vendor tacos being sold right on the other side of the wooden fence. A little toxic dust with your chorizo?
