Wait. I hope I didn’t scare you guys with that headline. It has nothing to do with destroying Citi Field or the Mets. It is the first steps of getting rid of the Iron Triangle on 126th street.
Ceetar of OptimisticMetsFan, sent this over to us here. Ceetar also pointed out that during the meet up the guys had last week that they actually talked about the Iron Triangle. (Note: I wasn’t there. Real job actually had me work the weekend.)
This is a quote from Ceetar from that meetup:
I hope they could at least clear the street outside the bullpen gate by july 2013 , for an all star village.
And, here is a snippet from the site that has the whole story:
The EDC now controls 88% of the property within the 20-acre first phase of Willets Point, a 980,000-square-foot chunk that will include 2,000 apartments and possibly a hotel. TheJournal reports that next week Team Bloomberg will initiate eminent domain proceedings against nine holdouts, with more to come in the future.
You can read the whole story here.
