(photo credit: joe holmes on Flickr)My blogger friend Lisanne over at Found In Brooklyn has posted some information on a meeting organized by the "Friends Of Bond" group. Concerned about rezoning, development and environmental issues, they are getting ready to fight.
Below is the information on the meeting. Make sure to visit her great blog.
The rezoning of Bond Street is happening quicker that anticipated. Many of us in the neighborhood are concerned about the enviromental issues involved in the Toll Brothers Condo Complex. Just to name a few.We are concerned about our health (the site is located on a brownfield),the canals fragile ecosystem, the fact that the condos are being built in a flood zone with a major sewage problem, the fact that they intend on building before a new flushing tunnel is installed, there is A LOT to be concerned about. This meeting on Monday has some good people attending (see below)I urge anyone who is concerned about this project to attend.
It’s coming and it’s big.707 new apartments on the Gowanus.The Toll Brothers have unveiled their plan for a 605,380 square foot project between Bond and the Gowanus, Carroll and Second Streets.What does it mean for our neighborhood?
Come hear Craig Hammerman (District Manager Community Board 6),
Phil dePaolo(Community Organizer), Tony Avella (City Council member) address our concerned response the Toll Brothers development.
