City Hall Park Site Clash Draws Wide Opposition
The City Hall Park site faces strong objections from lawyers and civic groups including Parks and Playgrounds Association People’s Institute City Club and leading architects. The Stilwell bill is blamed for undermining home rule and pressuring the city on a major project. The Board of Estimate may favor a Duane Street site behind the new Municipal Building, with cost and title being studied for a potential report. Mayor Gaynor’s stance has shifted toward opposition on merits if not on home rule.
