; an affordable housing development is proposed there, but those who want to keep the space as it is got a small victory Tuesday.
Elizabeth Street Garden sits between Prince and Spring streets. The green space, full of sculptures, trees and flowers, was created in 1991 on land leased from the city. In 2013, it was opened to the public, but the city always maintained the site would need to return to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development to become affordable housing.The Haven Green Project is a public-private partnership. The mixed-use development would include affordable housing for seniors and preserves about a third of the green space.
But on Tuesday, a state supreme court judge vacated and annulled the city's"negative declaration" that said the project would have no negative impact on the surrounding area's environment, writing,"The reduction in open space ratios is sufficient to indicate the presence of a significant adverse impact.""This gives us some time. It gives us some space," one supporter said."It's not over.
Supporters of the garden want the mayor and HPD commissioner to meet with them to reconsider and come up with another solution.
