Garbage Pit Meeting

Jordan Jordan April 26, 2011 4 Comments

Sometimes it feels like we’re stuck, running over the same decisions over and over, wrestling with the same problems. And then, something pops free and bam!: progress. The Festering Pit at Stone Way and 40th has woken from its slumber and is blossoming into a modern, urban residential / retail complex.

And soon, too, we believe, the garbage pit down on 35th will be transformed into a modern, urban…garbage pit. Ready for a glimpse of the future? Join the Bob Quinn and friends for a tour of the old pit and a glimpse of the future. This Saturday, you’ll have a chance to view the existing station, provide input on the proposed design concepts and learn more about the future of the North Transfer Station.

Walking tours of the perimeter of the transfer station
Time: Saturday, April 30th 9:30 – 11:00 a.m.
Location: Corner of N 34th Street and Carr Place North

Community meeting
Time: Saturday, april 30th 12:00 – 2:00 p.m.
Location: Hamilton International Middle School
1610 N 41st Street

Lest you fail to recognize the epic, poetic beauty that our little slice of filth can glow with, behold this visionary shot by Kirby:

    Not in my backyard! Put it where it belongs. Nearer to poor people.

    Oh, Max. Sounds like you might enjoy the East Side. 😉

    I love our dump. I hope that whatever the new design entails, they keep the ability to throw things from a high ledge.

    Still a really bad idea –

    Belongs in Interbay (original location) where the trash can be loaded directly into rail cars (that’s where the gi-normous trucks that bust up and clog our streets take it).

    The people at the city who are supposedly working this don’t know enough to be effective; the woman I talked to didn’t know the first thing about railroads – not acceptable!

    Show up on Saturday and stop it!
