“I believe in this text amendment. I believe we need to protect this neighborhood…. I think we’ve got to protect what we have.”
Councilman Bill DeBlasio, May 7, 2008, Borough Hall, Borough
President Markowitz’s Public Hearing RE: wide streets
Dear Councilman DeBlasio,
When you spoke at the Borough President’s Public Hearing in May, about the need for the wide streets text amendment as, “one piece in the much bigger battle” .…and the “overdevelopment pressures”….
What exactly were you battling and what did you think we needed protection from?
Were you speaking of the pressures of possible hypothetical overdevelopment? Or were you referring to the activities going on right before your eyes?
Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at 10:00 AM will be the perfect time for you to ask for what you’d like to see, defend what you believe in, help shelter what we have......WILL YOU BE THERE to represent Carroll Gardens at the Board of Standards and Appeals Hearing to do just that, or not?
