Greenpoint Gazette on North Brooklyn parks (another self-serving link, and an old one at that).

Times editorial notebook comes out in favor of Superfunding the Gowanus, saying “Brooklyn can handle the label.” Indeed.

City Planning will indeed be holding a public hearing on June 3rd to discuss the Greenpoint/Williamsburg contextual zoning. That follows a public hearing this month at the Brooklyn Borough President’s Office (he approved it), three public hearings last month at Community Board 1 (they approved it), and two public information sessions last November (to which all property owners received a written invitation). The process as a whole is approaching its third anniversary this Summer, and has been the subject of at least half a dozen other public hearings in the community. So yeah, property owners have been provided a pretty “limited time to protest these changes”.
