URGES RELOCATION OF DOG RUN: When Community Board 2’s Land Use Committee and Youth, Education & Cultural Affairs Committee reports to the full board at its Monday, Dec. 8 virtual meeting, it will recommend the relocation of a dog run at Abolitionist Place on Duffield St. A Nov. 16 letter that community member Raul Rothblatt sent to Community Board 2 urges the board “to delay any approval or groundbreaking on Abolitionist Place (formerly Willoughby Square Park) until the EDC [NYC Economic Development Corp.] creates a new design that puts the dog run in any other location than next to 227 Abolitionist Place and on top of the passageway that once connected it to the former 223 and 225 Duffield Street.”
