Ocean Parkway Pedestrian Bridge - Parks Upgrades;
Rezoning International Baptist Church Property and Other Stable Brooklyn/East Windsor Terrace Locations
Wednesday January 23rd, 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The New York City Parks Department will discuss potential upgrades to the two green spaces on either side of the Ocean Parkway Service Road.
Last year Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and I allocated $650,000 to refurbish the sitting area on East 8th Street and the park on Sherman Street, and at this meeting the Parks Department will update us on their plans and listen to your suggestions for how to improve these spaces.
We will also share updates on the different development projects in the "Stable Brooklyn" area, including the rezoning of nearby 57 Caton Place, and the preservation of Kensington Stables.
We will have a presentation from the developers of 312 Coney Island Avenue (where the International Baptist Church is located). They will present a new proposal to rezone the property and build a mixed-use development with residential units. The presentation is not part of formal land use review process. Instead, this community meeting is an opportunity to offer feedback on the proposal before a rezoning application is filed.
I understand that there are many different development projects underway in this part of the neighborhood, so we will have time to share updates, think holistically about the broader issues and needs facing the area, and talk about how neighbors can be involved.
Please RSVP by emailing Catherine Zinnel in my District Office at czinnel @ council.nyc.gov.
