Gowanus Area Seeks Balance in Cleaning Plan and Green Infrastructure
Basile notes flooding limited but area faces growing sewage strain with new condos. NYCDEP targets upgrades including Gowanus pumping station and flushing tunnel, plus green infrastructure like vegetation gardens. Proposals include a $9.4 million sewer corridor project and a $4 million design contract for Gowanus Canal and Newtown Creek. The Gowanus Alliance and Conservancy push for a balance between residential growth and manufacturing jobs and urge careful habitat and health studies before any basin changes.
