Pols demand city stop dredging at trash plant site
Councilmember Mark Treyger and Assemblymember William Colton, who have been leading a battle against the city over the construction of a waste transfer station on the Bensonhurst waterfront, charged that a dredging project connected with the facility is endangering the community.
Treyger and Colton held a press conference at the site of the construction, Shore Parkway and Bay 41st Street, on Nov. 21 to demand that the de Blasio administration call an immediate halt to the dredging at the Southwest Brooklyn Marine Transfer Station site.
The dredging violates the health and safety conditions of the project’s permit, according to Treyger and Colton.
