Bronx BP Shows Support For Armory Ice Rink Plan
Bronx BP Shows Support For Armory Ice Rink Plan
New Yorkers could soon be strapping on a pair of skates at the Kingsbridge Armory after Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. confirmed Thursday he will back a plan to turn the landmark armory into a skating rink. If approved, there would be nine ice rinks with a 5,000-seat capacity. This would make it one of the largest indoor ice sports centers in the world. Concerts and other sporting events could also be held at the building, which the military used until 1996. It's been left mostly vacant since. High-profile investors for the proposed rink include gold medal-winning figure skater Sarah Hughes and New York Rangers Stanley Cup champion Mark Messier, who noted the youth skating initiative associated with the project. - Diaz himself was opposed to the retail plan, because it did not guarantee workers a so-called "living wage" of at least $10 an hour. The city is expected to make a decision on the building this fall. ======================= Roger Clark, 08/23/2012, http://brooklyn.ny1.com/content/poli...-ice-rink-plan |

They could use half of the armory for a farmers market or something beneficial to local residents.

Wow, that doesn't look good at all.
What is NY's obsessions with unadorned metal siding and foamcrete walls? This building just screams 'please knock me down in twenty years!' |
^ worse, it looks like they are hiding the beautiful old armory bldg by surrounding it with crap. barclays arena seems to have set a precident for doing that.
whats up with the kingsbridge ice arena? is that still on? people were talking about it at work friday in one of my bronx sites like it was a done deal, but i'm not sure. |
mrnyc,
Are you a contruction manager? Just curious because you said "one of my bronx sites". If so... :cheers: Quote:

no - i work all over the city in all boroughs, but mostly the bronx lately.
i ask because apparently there are lawsuits still flying around on kingsbridge, so it doesnt look like ice arena construction is happening anytime soon. also, i hang out around there with friends occasionally and nothing is visible as far as obvious activity, construction equipment, etc.. |
Project is moving forward with new state loan

^ awesome -- its great to hear something anything about this project -- it went quiet for awhile. i'm glad to see its now moving forward.
btw the armory is riddled with tunnels, including one with a tank stuck in it, or so i hear from friends who were stationed there in the national guard years ago. i wonder what will become of them? sealed off and forgotten perhaps? opened occasionally for tours?? or maybe even put to use somehow??? |
Maybe speed skating exercise lanes?
