While the once green plants in the many 5th Avenue B.I.D. planters in Bay Ridge appeared to be brown and dead long ago, they are now so dry that they are in obvious danger of becoming victim of a forest fire — one cigarette butt tossed in one will probably set it up in flames.
This is a shot of Bay Ridge Parkway, notice how all four corners have lovely kindling on them. It’s obvious that nobody wants the planters and it appears as though the 5th Ave. B.I.D. has abandoned them out on the sidewalk.
This makes us wonder the question: At what point in time will the City deem the dead plants and planters garbage and remove them by way of garbage truck?
Our guess is never…
