The Cobble Hill Association is working to spread awareness and solicit feedback on the Brooklyn Marine Terminal Waterfront Redevelopment. If you don't know what that is, it's the 122-acre portion of the waterfront just south of Brooklyn Bridge Park, which extends from Pier 7 all the way down to Red Hook. Not to be hyperbolic, but this redevelopment has the potential to completely transform our neighborhood - it's a big deal. While part of the goal of the project is to modernize and grow the maritime opportunities, there is also space to incorporate public uses and to make critical infrastructure changes to the surrounding vehicular and pedestrian roadways.
If you're not up to speed - we created a webpage with background info, links, and an FAQ page (link in comments).
The Cobble Hill Association is part of a Task Force that will vote on the vision and guiding principles for the redevelopment. This project requires trade-offs, so it's important to understand not only what you, as community members, want and do not want on this site, but also your priorities. You do not need to live in Cobble Hill to respond, as data from other neighborhoods will also help as we work together to envision a transformative Brooklyn waterfront. Please feel free to share this survey/post with neighbors.
