The people who run the garden vow to continue to fight. GainerTV reports.
"It means everything to the community. People use it all the time. It's used throughout the year," Joseph Reiver, executive director of the Elizabeth Street Garden, said. Judge rules housing plan for Elizabeth Street Garden would have"adverse impact" on surrounding environment
Among the lush greenery and flowers, though, are signs letting people know it's in trouble. For years, garden supporters have been fighting the city over its proposed plan for the site. The Haven Green project, a public-private partnership, is a mixed-use development that would preserve a third of the green space andThe garden was created in 1991 on land leased from the city.
On appeal, though, the appellate division reversed that, saying that the environmental assessment found"qualitative aspects of the surrounding area and nearby Washington Square Park would help mitigate the neighborhood's preexisting open space deficiency." "It is a distance, especially for the seniors and the community, to get over to Washington Square Park," said Elizabeth Street Garden attorney Norman Siegel.
Housing Preservation and Development Commissioner Adolfo Carrión, Jr. called the ruling a huge win, saying in part"we look forward to delivering these 123 new, affordable, LGBTQ+ friendly homes for older New Yorkers, and we will continue advancing projects in every corner of the city to tackle the severe housing shortage driving this affordable housing crisis."
"We are pleased the Court agreed that the environmental review for this important development was thorough and rational," said NYC Corporation Counsel Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix.
