Two Bridges residents pleaded Wednesday for an independent monitor to oversee the planned construction of luxury towers in their neighborhood which they believe could not only damage their homes, but also cause health issues.

Lisa Woody has spent her entire 55 years living in the Two Bridges area, in fact she was even born there. She says the Lower Manhattan community has been her home sweet home when nobody wanted it, but now she is worried a big developer could not only take it away, but they could also cause her serious health problems.
