Greenpointers disappointed with new developments’ waterfront access
Many Greenpoint residents aren’t thrilled with new waterfront developments in the neighborhood, which they believe have the bare minimum of waterfront seating, pathways and plantings.
Last week, representatives from the Department of City Planning met with local residents to explain the process of waterfront zoning with a presentation organized by Councilmember Stephen Levin (D-Brooklyn Heights-Greenpoint), according to Bklyner.
While the city’s 2005 waterfront rezoning allows for “more design” other than the required bulkhead walls and railings, it doesn’t require it, DCP representatives told the community.
