Intermediate School 322 Is Coming to Nathans Site
The old Nathans site on 86th Street and 7th Avenue in Bay Ridge has a new sign for the new middle school, IS 322 that will be built there.
The sign says that the demolition of the Nathan’s building will happen by December 2021. Information about this school can be seen here.
They construction crew put up a trailer office on Battery Avenue side of the Nathan’s property.
“If you recall, the property was bought by a real estate developer for $12.25 million and then flipped to the School Construction Authority for $25 million in June 2019.” (Source) USE YOUR VOTE THIS NOVEMBER TO VOTE AGAINST DEVELOPERS WINNING IN OUR DISTRICT. **See bottom note
What about traffic on this busy street? The Crash Map shows this corner had a lot of accidents. (See here) In comparison to other school sites, this area has lot more accidents.
Only a few people seemed to care about this as many people present had grown children. The area already has a Don’t Block the Box site as it is a very busy corner.
“The building (IS 322) does not expect to be open to students until September 2024.” (Source)
The planning group said that the surrounding buildings would not hear the band classes inside the school as they were sound-proofing the building and were being strategic about window placement.
** The same developer that owned Nathans will be **WINNING** again at the other new school in Bay Ridge. WHAT OTHER SCHOOL 88th Street and 5th Avenue – across from the Post Office (and car dealership). More info about that building here.
