The lower stretch of Brooklyn Heights along Montague and Hicks streets sounded like a war zone late Wednesday morning, with a cacophony of outdoor projects in the works. The street is blocked off in front of the Bossert Hotel, as Verizon is digging a sizable hole for telephone work (according to a worker).
A block down, in front of 68 Montague, ear-splitting jackhammers are recasing metal fencing around a mature tree. A serene Wednesday along the avenue this is not.
