Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 6 hearing: No fist fights, one ejection
Packed five-and-a-half-hour hearing hosted by ESD
Elected representatives, civic organizations and residents spoke out at a packed five-and-a-half-hour hearing on Thursday regarding two residential towers proposed for Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
People waving placards circled on the sidewalk outside St. Francis College in Brooklyn Heights, and the sound system was turned on in the hall outside the auditorium for those who couldn’t fit inside.
The crowd was overwhelmingly opposed to the towers. Notably, every elected official representing the area stood up against the plan.
