Yassky Rally For MTA Site

As a complement to "Where's My Park?!? Day," Councilmember David Yassky is calling attention to the City's failure to make the MTA site into a park. From his office:
Councilmember Yassky is holding a "Rally for a Waterfront Park in Greenpoint!" on Thursday, May 14th (that's this Thursday) to remind Mayor Bloomberg about his promise to create a park on the MTA site located at 65 Commercial St.
Four years later: "Where's Our Park!"

Rally for a Waterfront Park in Greenpoint!
Thursday, May 14th
Steps of City Hall
1:30 pm Sharp
(take the 4, 5, or 6 subway to Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall )

Join Councilmember Yassky, your neighbors and friends and tell Mayor Bloomberg,
"We want a waterfront park not a parking lot!"
