We got a NotifyNYC alert this morning:

The Port Authority will be doing construction blasting at the World Trade Center site today beginning at 8 a.m. There will be a total of 7 controlled blasts during the day. This is a routine construction operation and there is no cause for concern.

The only cause of concern is how the Port Authority has incurred millions of fees for not turning over the Ground Zero parcels to developer Larry Silverstein on time. The PA was supposed to hand over part of the WTC site on December 31, for Silverstein to start work on Towers 3 and 4, but excavation has been much more difficult than predicted.
