City Council BQE Meeting
Tuesday, February 25 at 9:00am
Tomorrow morning the City Council will hold a press conference followed by a hearing on their newly released report on the BQE (below.) We encourage members of the community to attend and show support – 9AM at City Hall Park.
CHA Statement:
The Cobble Hill Association (CHA) is thankful for the work the Council has done, with Arup, to write a comprehensive report of the BQE’s history, many failed attempts, recent proposals and the constraints of transformation. Speaker Johnson ensured our coalition and communities were included in the process and engaged in meaningful dialogue with the Council and Arup. The CHA embraces the council’s recommendations and effort in helping bring a comprehensive transformation of the BQE closer to reality. We are enthusiastic about the transformative possibilities of covering the Cobble Hill Trench and removing the deadly exit and entrance ramps in our neighborhood and will advocate for a City/State Partnership governance strategy. We look forward to our continued involvement with the Council to reshape the future of the BQE, Brooklyn, and New York City.
