Judge considers controversial Brooklyn CB9 rezoning case
Justice Wayne Saitta hears arguments
Alicia Boyd, firebrand founder of the neighborhood group Movement to Protect the People, was ebullient following an appearance at state Supreme Court on Thursday.
Boyd and two co-petitioners, who are suing Community Board 9, several of its officials and the New York City Department of City Planning over a controversial rezoning affecting Crown Heights, Flatbush and Prospect Lefferts Gardens, had just presented a pro se (without benefit of a lawyer) legal broadside, against an attorney for New York City’s Law Department.
“Do you think this was a good day?” she asked supporters in the hall outside the Downtown Brooklyn courtroom.
