Coltons coalition doesnt want your garbage
Assemblymember Bill Colton organized a coalition rally against the proposed Bensonhurst waste transfer station at the Bay Parkway promenade on Sunday, August 5.
Colton has been vocally opposed to the transfer station, which the city would like to operate at Shore Parkway and Bay 41Street, at the site of the former Southwest Brooklyn incinerator. He filed a lawsuit against the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in June to block the plan, which was developed by the citys Department of Sanitation some years back.
This dangerous garbage plan places the health and future of Bensonhursts families at stake and thats why Ill fight to the end to stop it, said Colton, who is no stranger to the site. Previously, he led a successful lawsuit to shut down the incinerator, which he claimed endangered the health of area residents.
