Please be aware the 2005 Greenpoint Williamsburg Waterfront Rezoning Final Environmental Impact Statement’s Appendix K contains the Combined Sewer Calculations based upon a 1988 44.7″ annual rainfall.

Agenda: North Greenpoint Development Community meeting organized by Council Member Stephen Levin & NAG. Superfund NuHart, 77 Commercial Street, Greenpoint Landing updates.

Place: Dupont Street Senior Center, 80 Dupont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

Agenda: Newtown Creek US EPA Superfund site CAG meeting, at which US EPA, NYC DEP & CAG leaders will speak

Dear Save Greenpoint Enthusiasts: The 2013 local ULURPs took the wind out of our little grassroots organization, we have been passive since. The approved two actions, 77 Commercial Street and Greenpoint Landing, managed to offer the community little in return for being host to a near total land sky gobble. The advantage of having participated in the public hearings was we made our discontent known and shed light on previously unvisited issues. Some of these issues the North Greenpoint Community Advisory Group has continued to champion, such as its focus on the Nuhart State Superfund site across from our Greenpoint Playground and catacorner the proposed self-serving school. Much time has gone by and we are still not convinced the approved Greenpoint projects resulting from the 2005 Greenpoint-Williamsburg Rezoning are well planned, regardless of efforts made by so many.

Please join us, by asking New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to up the ante! Click here to review and sign our new petition.

Trash in front of 1133 Manhattan Avenue, a mere 7 story, 210 residential unit building. What can we expect of 77 Commercial Street’s 720 residential units, Greenpoint Landing’s 1,476 residential units?

Across the river in lower Manhattan, this problem persists, per Pasquarelli’s Crain’s article.

Agenda: Join Friends of Bushwick Inlet Park, local elected officials & your fellow community members in demanding the City realize its plan to create a 28 acre public park at Bushwick Inlet. This park will help offset neighboring Greenpoint’s open space person ratio, which anticipates a reduction resulting from the 2005 Rezone actions.

Does how you define a place really have anything to do with that place, North, East, South, West for starters?

This project is an example of a developer who does not understand the architect/developer relationship and is given free rein to go whole hog on the NYC waterfront by City Planning. Don’t be fooled, this ain’t lux. It’s an overpriced bloated glam bells & whistles cul-de-sac coated in battleship grey alucobond galore. Some serious ‘value’ engineering must have occurred. Better to live in the ugly building looking out, than the other way around they say. Yikes!

Is ultra high density living as environmentally and economically sustainable as it is believed to be, or does it make the problem of sprawl bigger while compromising city life?
