The PORT architects Andrew Moddrell from Chicago and Christopher Marcinkoski from New York propose the Carbon T.A.P.// Tunnel Algae Park that will tout a series of algae pontoons to convert carbon-dioxide emissions from NYC’s busy streets into bio-fuel. The temporary floating carbon-capturing bridge between Brooklyn and Manhattan will house well thought-out wetlands, recreation facilities, and high-speed bike lanes. Just recently, the concept-park was acknowledged as the winner of the UCLA cityLAB WPA 2.0 infrastructural design competition.
The parkway will keep on moving across the river on pier-like armatures. The algal park won’t only sequester and consume carbon, but will also produce oxygen, bioplastics, nutraceuticals and agricultural feeds, along with bio-fuel of course. In a way, it will be an one-stop solution to problems relating to fuel, agriculture, ecology (includes avian and aquatic habitats too), and new public spaces (construction of swimming pools, boardwalks, and plazas included). Well, the concept is applicable to tollbooths, coal-fired power plants, and automobile tunnels as well.

Staten Island is number one in all of New York City for home invasions and break ins, and there is space in this paper for algae or pond scum????
If the Advance was a real newspaper it will write about saving this island and it’s families that live on it. No one has ever told the truth about the home invasions,rapes and killings going on here. About the crooked Boro Hall as if was some small hick town. Please it is not to late.
