Brooklyn Bridge Park Plan (part 1)

Here's what it's supposed to look like. The Development Corporation feels so good about their plan that they have refused to release a drawing.

Brooklyn Bridge Park Update

OK, so I took some time off. It’s a long story, but I’m back.

Brooklyn Bridge Park is being killed by the Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation with the help and support of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy. Last week I approached Mariana Koval (Co-Executive Director of the Conservancy, annual salary approx. $88K). She jokingly called me an “ignorant misguided slut”. She said it as a joke, and I thought it was funny. I said the following to her “in the end, we all want the same thing”. She said “no we don’t”. I responded, “We all want a great park”. She disagreed. I’m not clear on what she disagreed with because the conversation, such as it was, ended at that point.

For more information on the plan for Brooklyn Bridge Park that we want to see, go this link (and do it soon, because it could be gone soon).
