If you've been to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade or Brooklyn Landing recently, you've probably noticed lots of work going on at the Brooklyn Bridge Park site. We were curious about what's been happening, and asked the Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation to give us a tour of the current site. While things are still very much under construction now, they told us that parts of the park will open as early as the end of this year.

So it turns out that the man that was pinned by the 5 train this weekend was high. This was off the

Yummy a salt marsh. A perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes speading malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever, cholera, bubonic plague, etc.
All of this so we can see more Canadian geese fucking?
Actually, they said that since the tide comes in and out, there's no sitting water in the salt marsh. That prevents any mosquitoes from breeding. And since the marsh attracts birds, they eats bugs that breed in the rest of the park.
They didn't say anything about Canadian Geese porn, but keep your fingers crossed, Snoopy-- you might get lucky!
Who are these miserable people? ^^^ Go back to the burbs if you don't like it.

When has a park ever been for the rich? It's not like they can keep anyone out of it.
Outside of Grammery Park, there are not too many. Fny is misguided in his assessment.
I looked through the prospectus last summer. It looked like they had a lot of great ideas--the marsh, canoeing, playing fields, plenty of grassy space hang out and take in the view (as you currently can at Empire-Fulton Ferry). (I am curious about the placement of access points--will there be multiple, since it's a long, skinny park?) I hope the economic crisis hasn't dinged the funding too badly, although from the speed of progress I've witnessed so far, it looks like they're full steam ahead.
FNY is totally misguided on this one: it doesn't cost anything to get in, it's not exclusive to neighborhood residents--as long as you have a Metrocard and the gumption to hump it over from Borough Hall it's yours to make use of.
I saw the trees (photo #4) from the Promenade. Why are they called "newly planted" if they're ultimately destined (presumably will be moved) to a different area, but are there just to get acclimated for the time being?
