Council Member Abreu raises concerns about potential noise issues on the cantilever side of the building. The panel outlines their plans to address these concerns and ensure a good quality of life for residents.
- Solid walls will be used on the highway side of the building
- An acoustical report has been obtained, and an acoustical firm will be hired to ensure noise doesn't penetrate the building
- The cantilever is positioned above the main noise sources
- Windows on the cantilever side face the Hudson River, which should minimize noise intrusion
- The design will prioritize minimizing sound penetration for residents' comfort
