It was a pleasure to have residents join us in discussing the various designs to the Pier One proposals — and it quickly was apparent that there was no universal acclaim for any one of the proposals. We appreciated the thoughtful commentary and input given towards our official response. Accordingly, we have published that response below.
In addition, we have also posted the letter written by the Park Community Council (PCC), a group of community and civic organizations that started in 1996 with the express purpose of providing regular meetings for community members to constructively dialogue about issues of concern regarding Brooklyn Bridge Park, with a goal of identifying issues on which a consensus could be reached and advocating for those. The PCC today includes members and residents of Boerum Hill Association, Brooklyn Heights Association, Concord Village Owners Association, DUMBO Neighborhood Alliance, Fulton Ferry Landing Association, Lower Atlantic Ave Development, Brooklyn Boathouse and others.
The third link below is the response made by the Brooklyn Bridge Park Community Advisory Council, which was initiated last year under the auspices of the Park Corporation and elected officials. It has a large and diversified membership comprising 28 organizations and individual contributors, appointed by the local electeds and the Park Corp for the purpose of providing community input to the Park Corporation on park related issues.
