I don't mean the music.... After many hard battles it would appear that the sweet smell of success is about to leave Yorkville. UES trash barge (finally) comes in After years of unsuccessful challenges to the facility from residents, the city requests bids to build a $190 million waste transfer facility on the East River at East 91st Street. http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20120125/REAL_ESTATE/120129934 The new East 91st Street three-story waste transfer station will replace one that closed at the same location in 1999, and will process up to 5,280 tons of trash per day. The city has not yet decided where the garbage will end up, but officials expect to complete contracts for the transportation and disposal of the waste by the middle of the year. “The issuance of the RFP is just one more step for a real five-borough solution to a five-borough problem,” said Eddie Bautista, executive director of the New York City Environmental Justice Alliance and former director of the mayor's office of city legislative affairs. “This is exactly the way we should be going. Communities in the South Bronx and Brooklyn that have been bearing close to 70% of the city's solid waste burdens are breathing a little easier.” Taken that you Richy Riches of Yorkville...smell this you 1%'erstwhile If only that were true...
