Whether you’re worried about housing being plopped in the middle of Brooklyn Bridge Park for revenue or can’t wait to move in, you’ll want to attend the public meeting of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation Committee on Alternatives to Housing, this Wednseday 22 September. The Cobble Hill Association will be there advocating against any additional building–the only housing now is One Brooklyn Bridge next to Pier 6, filling up quickly–which they say will take away from recreation in the park.

This meeting is yet another opportunity for the public to come out and speak out on their desire for a park, a true park… one that does not include private housing within it. The CHA prefers year round recreational facilities such as a pool, ice rink and indoor field house which could offset costs the City cannot burden.

To get all the facts, come on over to the Blue Room at City Hall at 11am (across the bridge on Chambesr St). Can’t make it? The CHA encourages you to call or email comments to the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation:
