Yankees Build Giant Dustbowl in Bronx
Power Plays (Political blog of The Village Voice)
By Neil deMause
It's four months past the groundbreaking for a new Yankees Stadium in the Bronx — what does the neighborhood have to show for it?
Dust from what used to be a park, traffic and noise from trucks starting at 6AM, pile driving and rats are all environmental impacts that were predicted for this residential community.
And what about those temporary ballfields that the City promised? The City has yet to solicit bids for their construction.
