The Former Sinkhole on Cortelyou

At least there’s no hole (or mops) anymore. As neighbor Bob P. noted earlier today, the Department of Enironmental Protection was at the corner of Cortelyou and Rugby fixing the perpetual sinkhole (additional thanks to Bob for filing a report with 311 about this).

This is what the spot looks like now–and the cone is for what? Does that mean it’s not done, or is that the cone that was there before, just left behind? We’re hoping the problem has been fixed for good, but just in case, keep an eye out here.
