i did a calculation based on the geo location, you won't have enough direct sunlights to cast a shadow long enough for it to hit that planner,
Prospect Tower is blocking all the sunlight....

You are being too literal. "Extends", just draw a line where it's supposed to go. Look at her nose's shadow.
Author is giving us two ways of getting to the final spot. The parts with "Or" is the alternate way of getting to X.

1) Take twice as many east steps as the hour
Look down and see simple roots in rhapsodic man's soil

2) Or more, from the middle of one branch of the ν
gaze north toward the isle of B.

Translation:

First way is getting there from the steps to the Isaiah's planter
Alternatively, gaze through the middle of the Peace Form One's gate in the direction of Blackwell's Island.

Here's the dig spot as I suspected. 5 for V (Peace). V shaped planter by the Isiah wall.

You'll often hear a whirring sound, cars abound may refer to 1st Ave Tunnel that runs right by the location. Perhaps sounds heard from air-vents.

Although the sign Nearby
Speaks of Indies native
The natives still speak
Of him of Hard word in 3 Vols.

This may be mission of Bhutan related. Perhaps there was a sign there referring to the Buddha (Buddhism being the national religion of Bhutan).
Indies native would be the Buddha.
Natives still call him Siddhartha (hard word) OR Sid-dhar (anagram)-tha
in 3 Vols. would be Tripitaka, Buddhists bible.

The three section of the Tripitaka (three baskets of Wisdom) are

1) Vinaya Pitaka (the Discipline Basket) - A rule book for monks and nuns
There are 227 rules for monks and more for nuns.
2) Sutta Pitaka (the Teaching Basket)- The actual experiences of Buddha
3) Abhidhamma Pitaka (the Higher Doctrine Basket)- An explanation on the teaching of Buddha. Most of these are called Sutras.

Any idea who that is? His handle?

Trying to tie up loose ends. Sounds like chicken?

Sooo... use of the word "gaze" is interesting.
Obvious meaning is to look. Yet fairy secrets come in twos.
Gaze... Stare... Stair (homonym) a confirmer of location.
No gazebos involved!

Faces on a Totem Pole can gaze.

[EDIT:] In the shadow of the grey giant (UN building), find the arm (Peace Form One) that extends over the "slender path" (The narrow rectangular path) in summer.
The obelisk (arm) extends up high (over) the narrow pathway.
Notice the shadow of UN over the area: https://tinyurl.com/fd85j5as

The silence is deafening.
There's practically a map of the dig site in the image. There's a UN on the shoulder and right below it on the sleeve (similar to home in Boston) is the v shaped planter (across the street).
Below in the water the 4th claw of the dragon is holding "5" or V in Roman.

Where is the Russian Orthodox Church.

[Choice]

In Red Square!
The theme is PEACE. This was during the cold war with CCCP. Window panels may represent the red and blue cold war.
Orthodox church and two tablets (10 commandments) may represent the book of Isaiah of old testament; quote on the Isaiah wall right above the v planter.
The orthodox church may not be a visual location clue since it wasn't even in the original painting. But there is a Church Center on the same block across from UN.

How many coordinates are visible in image 12?

I'm using these 4. Based on more traditional methods. My opinion only. Your mileage may vary.

Ralph Bunche Park's longitude is just below 74 so the range would be 73/74.
