Brooklyn Bridge Park Defense Fund Sues
NY Post:
PARK ROW IN B'KLYN COURT
By RICH CALDER
May 17, 2006 -- Saying there's no room for condos in a public park, activists in Brooklyn Heights are suing to halt construction of the planned Brooklyn Bridge Park - unless more than 1,200 luxury apartments are removed from the waterfront plan.
The suit, filed yesterday in Brooklyn Supreme Court on behalf of nine borough civic groups and the Sierra Club, seeks to annul project approvals granted in January.
Judi Francis, who heads the civic groups' legal-defense fund, yesterday accused the ESDC of rewriting public park rules.
"This is a dangerous precedent that, if allowed to happen, will mean parks will no longer be public recreational spaces," she said.
