Wrecking Ball Smashes Through 185-191 Bowery

Any idea how high this is anticipated to be? There is a very narrow park that serves a very underserved neighborhood behind this- LES/Chinatown has substantially less park space per person than the rest of NYC. If this building puts the community garden in shadow it would drastically affect what could be planted there. Shadowing also reduces all park usage during colder months when sunlight (as opposed to daylight) cannot reach park benches.
Aside from the absurdity of overbuilding and all it’s burdens.

Your comment – “Not to mention clog an already busy thoroughfare.” compelled me to say something on this. Every weekend, I take the M103 to/from City Hall. Because of the clog on the corner of Delancey/Kenmare and Bowery, the bus arrival times are all messed up. Cars are constantly blocking the box, causing the buses to arrive 3 at a time. I personally witnessed this yesterday as I was waiting for the southbound bus on Bowery/Kenmare. The bus was across the street and it took ten minutes to arrive at the stop because of the stupid cars blocking the box. I can’t imagine when this hotel is up how worse it’ll be. As usual, there were no traffic cops in sight. Is this a case for Greg Mocker at WPIX?
