Construction workers come back at night. I’ve seen this around town.

I was recently fooled by that movement too; and thought this project had been revived. I have since learned that this ‘movement’ is called weathervaning.
If a tower is not allowed to swing with the wind it is at risk of collapse. Weathervaning is the practice of releasing the brakes on a crane. This allows the crane to rotate it’s full 360 degrees with the natural direction of the wind.

What an embarrassment!
This was a feature of Türkiye Week, YIMBY’s annual celebration of the NYC mayor’s favorite republic.

Such a shame. Just like scaffolding, there has to be more enforcement around projects like this sitting idle for 5-6 years on end.

I liked this tower originally, but it’s been stalled for so long that now I’m just over it
