Brooklyn groups unite to oppose Pier 6 housing plan
Fifteen local associations with Letitia James Project for Public Spaces and Sierra Club submit a joint testimony opposing modifications to the Brooklyn Bridge Park General Project Plan. They argue housing towers at the Atlantic Avenue entrance are unnecessary for park funds and call for a full EIS and alternatives. Local leaders urge preserving three acres as park land amid broader development concerns.
