Statement in response to Mayor Adams’ Williamsburg waterfront rezoning proposal that was crafted without any communication or coordination with the local community or elected officials:
“The Southside and South Williamsburg neighborhoods have among the lowest rates of green space of any area in New York City. The Southside or Los Sures was famously ravaged by the BQE and has been a longtime environmental justice community that has prioritized addressing health inequities with more green space and parks.
Alongside our community leaders, we have been advocating for relocating this DOT repair shop to make way for a much needed park for over 15 years. This proposal from the lame duck Adams administration is unserious and we look forward to working with the next Mayor to transform this waterfront lot into urgently needed green space for our community.”
