PARKS DEPARTMENT MAY SHRINK COSTLY BATHROOMS TO SAVE CASH
“..Council members highlighted a number of inefficiencies that contribute to delays well before construction begins — including months-long waits to assign projects to an in-house design team after they’ve been fully funded.
Councilmember Mark Levine (D-Manhattan) questioned why the system for other agencies to review parks projects isn’t more streamlined.
“We cannot have parks projects stalling for each of five agencies,” said Levine.
“I’m flabbergasted by the fact that they have 50 open positions while their projects sit there doing nothing for as much as a year,” Kallos, chair of the Council’s contracts committee, told THE CITY.
