Deskripsyon

This property has been under construction for weeks, first demolition now a complete revamp. It has created problems for the neighbors, the neighborhood, and riders on the 47 bus that goes down Pearl St. A summary:
1. Big demolition container and big trucks take up more than their share of the street, delaying the bus.
2. Trucks and vehicles of workers idle for long periods, polluting the air. Several other projects in the area add to the pollution.
3. Demolition materials blow out of the container into neighboring properties.
4. Constant noise.
ISD could have at least required the builder to clear parking spots across the street from the container and the trucks so that the bus can go through. Do it now.
ISD could have required the builder to cover the demolition debris. Do it now.
The city could enforce its idling ordinance. How about that? Apparently citizens have to enforce the noise ordinance, which requires equipment that most people don't have.
It's frustrating to see so many little construction projects, none of them for affordable housing, and so little planning to reduce impacts.
