Construction Update (Sidewalk and Playground Open Edition)

Lots of positive developments at Riverdale Park Station:

First off as I posted on Monday (3/12) and the week earlier the trail was reopened on Wednesday.

They installed some new solar powered lighting:



And installed some bollards:


They also closed off Van Buren Street, in my opinion this makes sense.  (see below)


And re-closed the area between building 3 and building 4 so that folks need to use the path they intended.



They finally put fencing around the construction at the parking deck...   They are bringing back a bigger crane in order to make the parking deck go from the originally planned 4 stories to 6 stories.

Even more parking for the community will be a good thing...

Other items of importance are the Route 1 sidewalk is opened and the playground is no longer locked.

Here are some pictures of the completed sidewalk:




(I love how they used the old pillars from my previous post https://riverdaleparkstation.blogspot.com/2017/11/mac-alpine-mansion.html)

And the now opened playground... both doors were open and the closed sign was removed.



So a lot of items we have been awaiting for quite some time here in Riverdale are finally completed.

They just went vertical on Building 7 as well:
(see this post for building numbers:  http://riverdaleparkstation.blogspot.com/p/riverdale-park-station.html)


They also just started on the Building 8 foundation work.

Looks like Building 7 will probably be completed around July with building 8 being done soon after.

Next post will be from inside Golds Gym at Riverdale which opens in in 3 days on Wednesday 3/21/18!
