Thick white smoke concerns Bay Ridge residents
‘Smoke on the Water’ and Now on Colonial Road from underground oil feeder
Bay Ridge residents are concerned about a thick white smoke that permeates the block of 91st street between Ridge Boulevard and Colonial Road.
The smoke is the result of emergency electric work by Con Edison as they dig below the street to fix an underground oil feeder. Con Edison has posted signs alerting residents to the drilling and excavation work, parking restrictions and moderate noise levels during the duration of the work.
However, social media is buzzing with community members who are concerned about the health risks the emanating smoke might have on the neighborhood.
