This Monday Evening, Amanda Burden, Chairperson of the City Planning Commission is coming to the neighborhood to speak about the Gowanus area rezoning.

set of guiding principles relating to issues including use, density,
bulk, and waterfront access, intended to provide standards for
formulating and evaluating proposals for future land use changes. in

proposal for 25 blocks along the Gowanus Canal with Brooklyn Community
Board 6 and the community-at- large. Commissioner Amanda Burden will
meet with the community to give an informational update on the status
of the department's land use activities and address any concerns.
