Gowanus Plan

"Building a real recovery for our city requires forward-thinking investments that prioritize equitable growth, particularly in affluent neighborhoods that have not historically been asked to provide their fair share of New York City’s growth. The Gowanus Neighborhood Plan passed by the City Council today represents a positive step toward that vision. It will create thousands of units of affordable housing, new open space, critical investments in schools and transit, and much more."

— Eric Adams

ASH ON THE CANARY ISLAND OF LA PALMA: A fissure wa ASH ON THE CANARY ISLAND OF LA PALMA: A fissure was seen next to a house covered with ash on the Canary island of La Palma, on Wednesday. A fissure that volcanologists believe spouted a gusher of lava left a gaping hole in front of the house whose bottom floor was completely covered by a mountain of ash. On Wednesday, a fresh stream of lava from a volcano on Spain’s La Palma threatened to engulf a parish church that has so far survived the eruption that shows no signs of relenting in its tenth week.

BHA, BID LAUNCH A STUDY OF MONTAGUE STREET: The Br BHA, BID LAUNCH A STUDY OF MONTAGUE STREET: The Brooklyn Heights Association and the Montague Street BID have commissioned a study by Sam Schwartz Engineering to collect data on Montague Street, Brooklyn Heights’ main business street, what residents and business owners want, and how it can be improved as a shopping street and strolling destination. The Curbed real estate and urban design website, which is part of Vox Media and has been integrated into New York magazine, recently published an article with the provocative title “Why Is Montague Street Perpetually Drab?” The article makes several statements, often with sarcasm, that both Heights residents and people who work in nearby businesses, banks and the courts would definitely disagree with.

NOISE POLLUTION: Overpopulation’s negative conse NOISE POLLUTION: Overpopulation’s negative consequences are well-known to the nation’s environmentalists. Too many people lead to overdevelopment and put America’s already jeopardized resources, such as water, wetlands and wildlife, at further risk. International researchers have concluded that too many people also creates a level of noise pollution that brings with it serious health problems.
