Colton mobilizes residents to fight waste transfer station
Assemblymember Bill Colton gave a rousing speech to residents, asking for their support to fight the proposed Southwest Brooklyn Waste Transfer Station, at the latest meeting of the Bensonhurst West End Community Council on September 27, held at the Harway Terrace Community Room.
Colton said that neighbors have to band together to stop the installation of the station, just like they did to bring the B64 back to Coney Island.
We thought the B64 was hopeless and thats very similar to this situation. History repeats itself and we have to do the leg work. There is no magic solution, Colton explained. We have to put the principles of democracy into work and work together to solve [problems].
