This is unacceptable. Only crane on collins avenue. Swinging around like a pendulum. Town was put on notice 3 days ago and said the crane can withstand 200+ winds. I pray they are correct. $$$$ more important than safety.

A friend from the building that's next to the crane (Mirage at 8955 Collins Ave) told me that the representative of the owner of the property ASRR (Tom Rosen) had communicated that the crane contractor had said that the luffer tower crane erected and operational at 8955 Collins Ave., does not require any major preparation for the forecasted oncoming storm.

That the crane supplier company told the construction property that they would remove the lifting chains on Thursday afternoon and place the upper swinging portion called jib into the weathervane mode, which would allow the jib to swing or rotate freely depending on the direction of the wind. They also told them that if they saw that crane part "Jib" moving in the wind it was ok.

Meanwhile they are putting our neighbors and passing vehicles at risk
