With the Gowanus Canal cleanup right around the corner, neighborhood residents fear the collateral damage—namely a community pool on Third Avenue and Douglass Street, which could be closed if the city decides to build a sewage retention tank underneath it. Neighborhood residents, not wanting to lose their swimming spot, are calling for the tank to instead be built—if it gets built at all—on a vacant lot owned by Con Ed. Now, if you'll excuse us, we have to go take a shower after mentioning the words Gowanus Canal and swimming in back to back sentences. [DNAinfo; previously]
