Brooklyn Community Board 6 Must Vote No! This week on the proposed Gowanus Re-zoning Plan

As CG CORD just posted via Voice of Gowanus:

Brooklyn Community Board 2 has voted NO! to the Gowanus Re-Zone with good reason.  It is a flawed and very dangerous plan. LINK   

Kudos to CB 2 for doing what is right for the community and its residents!!

Now it is Community Board 6's to do what is right and also vote NO! to the proposed Gowanus re-Zoning Plan.  

There are too many unsettling and dangerous risks in the proposed Gowanus Re-Zoning plan.  Human health and lives are at stake!

Please read some of the public testimonies against the plan CG CORD has recently posted:

CORD HISTORY:

With the "Protect Our Homes" petition, CORD was formed in May, 2007. This petition arose as an overwhelmingly negative response to the coming of the over-sized 360 Smith Street Development at the corner of Smith Street and Second Place (Aka Oliver House; aka 131 Second Place). This petition, which had well over three thousand signatures, led to a new zoning text amendment in summer of 2008.

To: Our Elected Officials, Community Leaders, The MTA:
(MAY, 2007)

We the undersigned Carroll Gardens homeowners and residents, are appalled by the "as of right" ruling which allows owners and developers to erect buildings in our neighborhood with no regard to the impact they will present to our quality of life and the value of our homes........
