At this point in time, can the West Village be deemed a priority?

Really not sure what your point is here. You're saying if the city cleans up other contaminated sites that are less expensive, it will make the W Village cleanup more tolerable for private developers? I must be misinterpreting.
The West Village needs to get developed and yes it's a priority, particularly now that East Village is finishing. There's already a plan for it. It won't get developed privately because the economics make no sense - needs to be a partnership.
