In a non-shocker of a move, Community Board 8 nixed a plan to post billboards on UES co-ops within 125 feet of Second Avenue. The temporary ad space, proposed by the residents of 245 East 72nd Street, would have been a way to make up some of the money lost to the Second Avenue subway's legal, engineering, and consulting costs. But, said one local, "We'll look like 42nd Street." And all debate was silenced. [DNAinfo]
