In the wake of the stoppage of work at the Landmark Hotel, the city has asked the project’s construction firm, Clancy & Theys, to take down scaffolding at Second Street SW in order to open up the street that runs by The Box and the Second Street Gallery.
“We’ve asked them, if they’ve quit working, to take the [overhead] fence down,” says Jim Tolbert, director of Charlottesville’s Neighborhood Development Services. “They say they’ve ordered it to be done.”
Tolbert doesn’t have a date when it should come down, though he hopes it’s by the weekend. “It’s sort of out of my control. I’ve asked them, but they don’t work for me.”
Eventually, Tolbert hopes that the fencing can be contracted all around the project.
