Dear everyone, Happy New Year!!! Excited to share, that we have been very busy... we are counting the weeks till we are back in court... to fight for our park! and to stop the concrete condos! Next week, we are excited to invite you to a fun townhall style meeting on Saturday, January 24, at 3 PM. Our venue is our neighborhood’s special Zion German Lutheran Church on Henry St. At this meeting, we seek to share what we have learned, and we are asking for feedback from the community, and look forward to benefiting from a question and answer exchange with everyone. Importantly, we will also outline our next steps in the courts. I am hoping everyone might consider submitting questions in advance to savepier6@gmail.com. We will try our best to prepare helpful and tailored information. Preliminary agenda items are: our advocacy for a supplemental eis, the park's finances, and a discussion of what effective and meaningful financial transparency from the Park Corp might look like. We also hope to take five or ten minutes and, as a community, dream a little… About the future of Pier 6... we are facing an insufficiently ambitious park plan… If we abandon the in-place 10 year old stale plan/path towards creating a concrete and glass jungle, along our glorious Brooklyn waterfront... What are the opportunities? For our generation and generations to come in our fast growing borough? (some ideas!!! a fabulous entrance to the park among Atlantic Ave? Tall trees, shade and benches? Water fountains? More swings? A children's vegetable garden? A simple, green meadow? ) Please consider coming... and sharing your ideas and insights with us. Most gratefully, and with deepest admiration for our wonderful community, Lori
