I received an email from reader Phyllis Wrynn this morning regarding the 360 Smith Street development. I am sure she speaks for many in this community.


Dear Katia,

Every time my husband and I drive to Carroll Gardens, we pass the 360 (Smith Street) site, but somehow, inexplicably, I didn't know that it was a private development!

We have been working for 7 years against the monstrous development at Atlantic Yards and although we try to pay close attention to all of the issues that affect our low-rise Brooklyn communities, the 360 project was completely off of our radar!

We thought they were improving the subway entrance with some additional services. I can't believe how awful it is...and done by a totally discredited architect.

How did they get the permission to build such a high and dense building? How did this happen? Is it too late to stop?
It changes the landscape of Carroll Gardens COMPLETELY!
