Colton: City is trying to turn playground into park
Assemblymember William Colton (Gravesend, Bensonhurst, Bath Beach, and Dyker Heights) says the city is trying to turn I.S. 228’s playground, also known as David A. Boody schoolyard, into a public park. “There was no transparency with the local community. The local community was not surveyed. My understanding is that West 4th and West 5th Streets are narrow streets and if this plan is true it will be strongly opposed by many community residents. I believe that this project will create serious safety, health, and quality of life issues not only for the neighborhood but also for I.S. 228 which has been a shining star of quality education,” Colton said.
