In a session that continued on into the wee hours last night, Community Board 7 adopted a resolution calling on developer Extell to modify its proposal to build “Riverside Center,” the last piece of the Riverside South megadevelopment.
What does CB7 urge be incorporated? A public school, traffic controls and a quality streetscape that enhances options for preserve the former IRT Powerhouse on West 59th Street, to name just a few key elements.
For more information on the IRT Powerhouse, visit the LW! Wish List!
