Co-op City’s wind turbine
will not go back up: King
BY JASON COHEN
The controversial
wind turbine in Co-op
City that was blown down
by gusty winds at the end
of 2019 will not return.
On Thursday, February
6, Councilman Andy
King, Senator Jamaal
Bailey and Assemblyman
Michael Benedetto
held a press conference at
the site, where it was announced
that the turbine
would not be rebuilt.
On Monday, December
30, the turbine collapsed
sending another
monopole on the property
crashing into a parked
car.
The structure was
built at 500 Baychester
Avenue, and joined two
other smaller billboards
as well as a 7-Eleven, a TD
bank, a pharmacy and a
Sherwin Williams paint
store on the newly minted
mini mall.
A 250-foot monopole
supported the wind turbine.

BRONX TIMES REPORTER,4 FEBRUARY 14-20, 2020 BTR
The controversial
monopole was constructed
on a parcel at
Bartow and Baychester
avenues that retained a
C7 zoning from the early
1960s when the property
was a part of Freedomland,
an amusement
park.
“The Co-op City community
I just don’t
think that we
should have
a structure of
that nature in
a residential
community.
Michael Benedetto
Assemblyman
will be happier as
I proudly announce that
the owner of the wind
turbine has conceded and
will not be rebuilding it
here,” Councilman King
said on Twitter. “The
owner has also agreed
not to reattach the third
sign that faces into Co-op
City resident’s windows.
This is a major victory
for Co-op.”
As part of King’s
agreement with the property
owner the monopole
will remain.
Assemblyman Benedetto
said Councilman
King told him that the
structure would support
a light beam that would
project various colored
light straight up for special
ocassions, much like
the Empire State Building.
Senator Bailey told the
Bronx Times he is glad
the owner of the prop-
erty came to his senses.
The senator is all for helping
the environment and
clean energy, but this was
out of character with the
neighborhood, he stated.
The turbine was up for
two weeks before it collapsed,
so maybe that was
a sign that it shouldn’t
have been there in the
fi rst place, he said.
“It’s a relief that that
this has taken place,”
Bailey said. “I question
the location. I was frustrated
by the fact that it
went up in the fi rst place
without community discussion.
Simply because
you can do something
doesn’t mean you should
do something.”
“I just don’t think that
we should have had a
structure of that nature
in a residential community,”
Benedetto said.
Matt Cruz, district
manager of Community
Board 10 stated that
while he doesn’t oppose
wind turbines, he found
the turbine location inappropriate.
Elected offi cials and
CB 10 fi elded hundreds of
inquiries from local residents
questioning its installation.
Cruz, who hadn’t
heard the news that the
turbine would not be returning,
said it was music
to his ears. Putting it in
the community without
consulting theresidents
was wrong and a quality
of life issue, he noted.
“This board along
with Councilman King
has been in the trenches
trying to put this issue
to bed,” he said. “We’re
happy the property
owner has decided to go
forward. This is a win
for Co-op City as well as a
win for the board here at
CB10.”
