86th street in Bay Ridge – the eternal digging continues
3 weeks ago, my daughter asked me what all the digging was on my block and when it was going to end. I told her that I think it is to do with water and they will continue digging until the end of time.
It has been over 5 months since they started. Shortly after my last offering on this subject, they redug the original very deep holes from the beginning of March. I barely saw them for a while after that, but did hear them sometimes after dark – except when it rained or was hot. Slightly wry there, I hope you’ll understand, seeing as it was a warmer than average July.
The block between 4th and 5th has now been reclaimed for cars and the deep hole on that side of the intersection was filled in. But now whenever it rains, nothing drains away. A couple of weeks ago, they closed off 2 lanes of the block between 2nd and 3rd. My block? On Tuesday, they dug another new trench. 5 ½ months and no sight of an ending. It’s beginning to really piss me off.
