Even though Staten Island's current only megaproject?a 625-foot-tall observation wheel and 125-store outlet mall near the ferry pier?already got a thumbs up from the City Planning Commission, it still has to win City Council approval next month before it's in the clear. But NY1 reports that council members are trying to figure out a way to approve the New York Wheel without its accompanying mall (pictured, click for big), mostly because union workers would only be used to build part of the project.
