Brighton Beach bathroom battle advances
BY HEATHER J. CHIN AND LINDSEY RIBACK
Residents in the fight to halt and permanently relocate construction of new Brighton Beach comfort stations above the beach in front of a residential area that did not undergo prior environmental review can celebrate a “preliminary victory,” said Assemblymember Steven Cymbrowitz.
Cymbrowitz, whose 45th District constituents at the Oceana condos have been protesting the construction since it began this spring/summer, announced on Tuesday, September 3, that a Brooklyn Supreme Court judge had signed a preliminary injunction, halting construction pending an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) by the city.
