Out of curiousity, what constitutes "limited supply" of grocery stores to you? I could name 3 within 2 blocks of 79th & York.
I am just comparing it to what is available in other neighborhoods, such as the Upper West Side which has Fairway, Whole Foods, Food Emporium and Pioneer Super Market. On the Upper East Side they are more spread out. I have not lived over there for about 3 years, so maybe they've added some new ones.
That garbage transfer station will put a damper on a hot Summer night, they get smelly enough WITHOUT a garbage dump. In my heart of hearts I think it will NOT happen. There is a LOT of political clout on the UES.
True, but it did happen in SoHo with the garbage truck facility, despite some high profile opponents to the venture.
What may stall the transfer station on the UES is the pending bill in the assembly that would prohibit operation of such a facility in a certain proximity of a public housing project in a large city. However, since it was previously operational, and when closed was not dismantled, the fight will be difficult.
