The city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission signed off this week on plans to link the Brooklyn Bridge’s two waterfront parks together with a new plaza and green space that would sit under the iconic span.

It’s the final piece of a decade-plus long push to revitalize the once-industrial waterfront of Gotham’s biggest borough, which was largely filled with dilapidated warehouses and parking lots until its transformation into park space.

The new $8 million Brooklyn Bridge Plaza will allow New Yorkers to easily walk from the northern portion of the waterfront park — home to the famed Jane’s Carousel — under the bridge to Pier 1, which sits to the immediate southwest. – New York Post https://nypost.com/2020/05/20/new-plaza-gets-city-ok-to-unify-brooklyn-bridge-park-waterfront/
