The city is planning on turning the Hunter College of Nursing at 1st Avenue and 25th Street into a Sanitation Department facility. No advance notice was given to the community. This facility will undoubtedly bring the smell of garbage, rats, traffic and noise to the neighborhood. The board is looking into what can be done and how all cooperators can help to fight this. Apparently a final decision will be made by the city in early October.
