A few weeks back, we had a note about a proposal to redesign the public space surrounding Brooklyn Borough Hall. And last Thursday, DBP, a not-for-profit local development organization that oversees the downtown Brooklyn area, held an open-to-the-public meeting with two architecture design firms to present their vision for the area in 2030.
Since Borough Hall is no-doubt the most popular street spot in all of Brooklyn — and the plaza already had a skatestopping attempt via an AstroTruf and planter combo back in 2019 when Eric Adams was Brooklyn Borough President — it made sense that there were concerned skateboarders present among the Brooklyn residents and architecture students to see what they had in mind. Our correspondent Greg Navarro reported back from the meeting.
