[Summit] Public Comment - Fane Tower Proposal

[Ethan Gyles]

The I-195 Commission is accepting public comments tomorrow, January 18th,
regarding the 55-story luxury residential towers proposed by Jason Fane, a
Manhattan developer, on Parcel 42 of the former I-195 land right on the
river.

(Background here:

)

The proposed skyscraper(s) would immediately abut our future riverside park
and pedestrian bridge, block them from the street, and would essentially
turn them into a private backyard for luxury renters. Not to mention the
likely super-subsidy the Fane organization would be seeking from taxpayers.

Please, come make your voice heard! This may be the only opportunity to do
so.
