For the Downtowners that have begrudgingly accepted the Tower o' Garbage as fait accompli, the one upside frequently mentioned is, hey, at least the Sanitation Department will get off the Gansevoort Peninsula, freeing up the land to be absorbed into Hudson River Park! Er, not so fast. DNAinfo reports that the the city is moving ahead with a $10.5 million "recyclables transfer facility and environmental center" on the Gansevoort Peninsula, reviving a controversy of old. So it's garbage trucks for Hudson Square and recyclables for the Meatpacking District. On your guard, West Village! [DNAinfo]
