That is a serious increase and far more than what Broad Street and the Waterfront Park can handle. Trying to jam this through the city is not acceptable, surprised we are just seeeing all this information now.

Though flawed, the crucial disaster is that the 2011 "LWRP zoning" is not enforced by the City, at least not where A. Colarusso & Son, Inc. is concerned. <br /><br />Only five years since it was amended, it makes no difference whether the zoning was perfect or flawed if it's not applied. Taxpayers bought a very expensive deadbolt for a door the City leaves unlocked.unheimlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204285837938988668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-51233782352713821992016-12-17T20:12:04.370-05:002016-12-17T20:12:04.370-05:00On Friday I was at the waterfront as a passenger t...On Friday I was at the waterfront as a passenger train was loading at the station. Meanwhile, dump trucks were parked at the Ferry St. rail crossing, waiting for the gate to lift so they could proceed. 28 trains per day pass thru Hudson each day, so it doesn't require much imagination to realize that we're going to have a mess down there if the Colarusso scheme is allowed to go forward. All of this can be laid at the feet of the Common Council members, who failed our community miserably when they passed a deeply flawed LWRP and the associated zoning changes. The good news is that the state of NY has not approved the LWRP yet, so perhaps we can salvage things and get a better outcome. I see absolutely no economic upside for Hudson in this situation, and a whole lot of downside. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
