Council Member Won questions Melissa Guan on building distance and construction timeline
Council Member Won asks Melissa to show the distance between her building and the TD Bank lot via camera. Won confirms she knows the building and asks the development team about a construction timeline and the borough president's proposed protective wall, but no response is recorded.
Thank you, Melissa.
I think Councilor Mawan has a question for you.
Hi, Melissa.
It was good to see you at the park the other night at Murray.
Yeah, good to see you.
Can you do me a favor?
Go back outside.
Can you point your camera down so I can see the distance between your building?
Because I know exactly what building you live in because I walk to the park all the time.
Okay, so that backyard to where that gray building is, is where the TD Bank would...
That's TD Bank, right?
You can see this is a very square.
like block, whatever the developer presented is going to be here.
And it's taking almost half of the whole block to make it like a high rise.
And that high rise is much higher than what the developer showed on his picture.
So, Melissa, the 11-story building, that one's prime?
Yeah, that's prime.
Okay.
And the one that the older building, how many stories is that one?
Five?
This one is five.
Yes.
Okay.
Is there anyone from the development team that can answer actually?
So we know, I know that the borough president had proposed building at least a three-story or multi-story wall to protect the other tenants from the construction.
And can you, is there an estimate timeline on the construction at all?
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you, Melissa.
I'll see you at the park.
All right.
Thank you.
