Cymbrowitz Praises Community Board’s Rejection of Avenue U Lounge
Vote Prevents Former Problem Establishment from Reopening
MARINE PARK — Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz (D-Southern Brooklyn/Midwood) has called Community Board 15’s Executive Board’s vote to reject plans for a new restaurant at 816 Avenue U, the former site of Pleasure Island, “a vote for the quality of life and safety of the residents of the surrounding community.”
Throughout its operation, the previous lounge created numerous safety and quality-of-life concerns for those living or walking in the area, according to Cymbrowitz.
