Brooklyn Heights Association files motion to halt start of Pier 6 construction at start of busy park season
Developers Intend to Begin Work As Soon As July 19
Even before the court decision on Brooklyn Bridge Park’s proposed Pier 6 towers, the developers for Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation have filed to begin work the day after what will likely be the final court date.
But the century-old neighborhood watchdog group Brooklyn Heights Association, alerted to the move, immediately countered.
On Sunday, June 30, the Brooklyn Heights Association (BHA) filed a motion in court seeking to halt the developers from starting construction of the two controversial towers right at the start of the park’s busy summer season. BHA wants the court to issue a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, the organization said.
