Harlem River Lower Concourse Rezoning Hearing

You can speak up! Achieving access to the Harlem River, today!

Tuesday, June 23, 9:30 AM

9:30 AM

City Council Zoning & Franchises COMMITTEE

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Issues you might raise at the hearing:

•

High-rises and higher rents on the Harlem River?

•

Manufacturing jobs lost to lofts?

•

Or real affordable housing and public amenities for us, today?

•

Or a public park mapped at Park Avenue with monies to implement if for our existing communities?

See our testimony from the April 1st hearing of the City Planning Commission. We have been advocating for public access to the Harlem River for many years, and the rezoning proposal for the Lower Concourse is an ideal opportunity! Request that the park at Park Avenue be created with resources to implement it today, instead of vague descriptions and studies. Future parkland restricted by the garbage tracks away from the river to be created in 20 years, if at all, is not acceptable. Why does the Highline get $100's of millions of dollars, and we have zero official access here? There must be money in the budget for this site! Send a note to your elected officials about this today.
