It seems more likely that they’d use this site on the north side of 47th ave (like Jenni said), which was able to be demolished at once, than the block further south which consists of buildings in various states of use.

Also… Recycle a Bicycle’s retail location is in DUMBO but their office & workshop is here at 46th ave. & 5th st.

it’s actually possible that this is the site for the dorms - i’m pretty sure this construction site spans the entire block on 5th st from 46th to 47th ave

id- Thanks for the dorm article. That’s interesting. I don’t think this is the same lot though, bc it doesn’t sound like ground has broken for that yet (maybe though, it was a month ago) but also the site is at 46th & 5th…not 47th. But it’s still in the running…

Not sure, but recycle a bicycle definitely moved to DUMBO

Recycle a Bicycle is the next block down, on 46th ave.

Isn’t this where they’re considering putting dorms?

Parking is at such a premium in the city - why doesn’t the construction site have to show a permit to the towing company? Is there any recourse for car owners who are illegally towed from these construction sites?
