This massive floodgate could be coming to the Brooklyn waterfront
'This study has been deeply flawed from the start,' clean water activist says.
A massive storm surge barrier connecting Brooklyn to Staten Island near the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge is being proposed to stop flooding during extreme weather events like Superstorm Sandy.
The dramatic addition to New York Harbor is one piece of a more comprehensive study from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on how to protect the New York City area from inundation.
The Corps presented five plans, each varying in price and durability, at a public information meeting on Tuesday in lower Manhattan.
