1 year Anniversary of South Park Slope rezoning 11.16.06

lostingreenwoodhts

A reminder that today, one year ago at approx. 2:15 PM, NY City Council unanimously voted in favor of the South park Slope ULURP, rezoning South Park Slope and Greenwood Hts.

Blood, sweat and tears of two years and the fastest rezoning (down-zoning on the side streets, up-zoning along 4th Ave corridor) was worth all the effort.

And a bigger THANK YOU again to all the groups (South Park Slope Community Group & Concerned Citizens of Greenwood Hts.), individuals, elected officials (AM Brennan, CGR. Velasquez, BP Markowitz, CM deBlasio and CM Gonzalez, PA Gottbaum and others...) Community Board 7, our press/media/bloggers (brownstoner & curbed..and this site's admin DH too!) who made this happen.

Happy to have been a part of it...even happier at the anniversary!

Here's to remembering our BSA battles, won and lost and to the ongoing watchdogging of our ever growing neighborhoods. Further preservation and planning is need in Brooklyn, so let's make sure to support the upcoming re-zoning of other 'nabes in the Boro.

Onward!
