The city is dismantling the oldest sidewalk shed on public property, a rotting relic from 15 years ago, amidst efforts to improve the cityscape.
'The people who walk through the doors at OCME are frequently in profound need - or serve people who are,' Deputy Mayor Meera Joshi emphasized, highlighting the importance of maintaining respect for the work done there.
'To put it into perspective, Kamala Harris was a District Attorney and Donald Trump was a reality star when this scaffolding first went up,' a city council source remarked on the prolonged presence of the shed.
The initiative 'Get Sheds Down' announced by Mayor Eric Adams aims to reduce the number of scaffolding sheds that have lingered across the city for extended periods.
