Green Spaces
Although the preservation of Thomas Greene Park is wonderful it was sad that there were not more proposed green spaces for Gowanus. Green spaces are GOOD! and make for healthy communities. Some of the greatest NY neighborhoods, have an abundance of green spaces. With such a polluted past it would wonderful too see Gowaus do about face and become a leader in neighborhood green spaces. Gowanu deserves its day in the sun and in more than one park.

STOP DEMANDING CONCESSIONS FROM DEVELOPERS
The more requirements, requests and delays we impose with this "feedback", the more it jacks up the price for the housing that will eventually be built. We cannot delay and demand concession after concession on every development project. The Gowanus area as it is now, is a hell hole. To delay these re-development projects as long as we have ,while we are in the midst of a housing shortage is just crazy. We cannot let a few dozen loud mouths block progress in an area of prime location and a prime need for revitalization. JUST DO IT ALREADY

Where is the requirement that with all this residential construction new schools must be built?
Our District 15 schools are already crowded. With all the emphasis on the residential, industrial, artistic, and park development where is serious thought being given to where new Gowanus families will send their children to school? Residential development MUST be contingent on developers building new schools. I see more mention of parking in these documents than schools!
