Given the presence of Remington & Vernick engineers at the March 2010 demolition site, I thought maybe these vaults would be walled off before fill was dumped on the lot.

The one-day demolition and months-long cleanup were done at a cost of almost $200,000, which was charged against the SFY 2011 budget as an emergency appropriation. No plans have been mentioned for the empty lot, but a look at the sinking fill indicates that the lot would have to be stabilized somehow before anything, even a pocket park, could be placed on it. Even with a fence in place, the holes at the sidewalk's edge appear to present a hazard.

Doc had asked me on his blog once for an example of "penny wise & pound foolish" when referring to the City of Plainfield and this hole in the ground is it...."Welcome to Plainfield..you neglect it..we'll clean up your mess"

Consultants are only interested in vaults where the gold be stored.
