LAST GASP: More Dumping At The Manhattan Avenue Kayak Launch?
Jan

As some of you might recall, a lot of noise has been made, well, about the noise emanating from the property adjacent to the Manhattan Avenue Kayak Launch. For those of you who are not in the know, you can get up to speed by clicking here. I have not heard any complaints about this matter— or piece of public space— for several days. No worries, now I have a new one. Laura writes:
Hi Heather!
These pictures aren’t the greatest because Mike used his cell phone to take the photos. But Mike saw a Parks Dept employee dump a bunch of bushes in the Newtown Creek. (He’s not sure if there was anything else). He called ST (Stephanie Thayer, Parks Supervisor for all parks in Community Board 1 and Executive Chair of Open Space Alliance— Ed. Note.), who says something will be done.
Was this the handiwork of a Parks Department employee? Quite frankly it is too hard to tell given the photographs. However, this is one piece of foliage that didn’t make it to mulchfest!

It would appear Newtown Creek just can’t get a break! Click here and read about the latest “gusher” to grace the Seine of north Brooklyn!*

TOMORROW: Community Board 1 Land Use Meeting, A Superfund Update & D.O.T. Forum

Follows are no less than three community forums for your consideration, north Brooklynites!
First up, tomorrow our Community Board’s Land Use Committee will be getting down to business. I have highlighted two items which may— should— be of interest to my fellow Greenpointers:
- The folks from 259 Banker Street will be on hand to present their plans for this property (HINT/SPOILER: it will NOT be a nightclub. It will be an artists’ studio.). I myself have seen the plans for this and have to confess: they’re very nice!
- Discussion about the proposed expansion of the Greenpoint Historic District (something about which yours truly feels rather strongly) will resume as well.

Secondly, the EPA will be conducting not one— but TWO— public information sessions about the progress they are making Superfunding creek. Without further ado, here’s the 411:
EPA Information Sessions Regarding The Superfunding of Newtown Creek

Lastly, the Department of Transportation will be conducting a public forum regarding proposed changes to West Street as part of the greater Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway Project. Believe it or not, this was a rather contentious issue at the last Transportation Committee meeting I attended (for very salient reasons, I’ll add). “Refreshments” (beer, perhaps?) will be served!
