JANUARY
30, 2005 --
Although officials
backed down from initial reports that it would take five years
to repair damage caused by a fire in the New York subway, LPR
wonders if it will take five years to complete restoration of
Columbus Circle -- and perhaps even more than five years to fix-up
a portico on the southbound roadway of Riverside Drive, opposite
Grant's Tomb.
Hearing a report, January 29, that craters were being made in Baghdad streets
to thwart terrorists, LPR now understands the presence of so many potholes --
craters -- in New York City, including this
one (please see accompanying photo) between the unrepaired portico and Grant's
Tomb, first spotted two weeks ago.
On the subway damage, the estimate has been reduced to 6 - 9 months, LPR hears,
and if it takes less -- officials will claim credit for beating the estimate?
