In 2005, Mayor Bloomberg promised North Brooklyn three new parks along the Williamsburg and Greenpoint waterfront as part of the massive rezoning of our neighborhoods. Six years later, we have thousands of new housing units created as a result of the rezoning (with thousands more to come), but we\u2019re still waiting for the promised open space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bloomberg Administration now says it has \u201cno funding for\u201d and \u201cno schedule for\u201d upholding its open space commitment to North Brooklyn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
