Parks Dept. to present design for long-awaited repairs to Brooklyn War Memorial
New entrance, ramp, lift and more
The campaign to restore the shamefully crumbling Brooklyn War Memorial will inch another step forward on Monday, March 20, when Michelle Langley, an architect with the city’s Parks Department, will present a design for the first phase of renovations at a Community Board 2 committee meeting.
The Parks and Recreations Committee meeting will take place at 6 p.m. at The Brooklyn Hospital Center’s first floor dining room, 121 DeKalb Ave. at St. Felix Street in Fort Greene.
To the distress of veterans and area leaders, the memorial has been closed for 25 years. Located in Cadman Plaza Park in Downtown Brooklyn, the imposing structure was built as a tribute to the more than 300,000 Brooklynites who served in WWII.
