So that's why the "SOLD" sign is there, it's been sitting empty for years. Anybody know what used to be there that it needs cleanup? I always wondered myself, since it's fenced off and has landfill-type pipes coming out of the ground, but could not find any information.
Also, that render... the bike path looks nothing like that in that area! Agree that it will look really out of place, but the area could use more housing options, especially given that the 77 bus is right there.
While the land is not a Superfund site, Hallet said it could cost $500,000 to $750,000 to clean up contaminated soil and build a cap covering the majority of the site, some of which may be covered by state grants.
