This project was approved unamimously by the full New York City Council yesterday and will be completed in 2029. Big win after years of delay and obfuscation by NIMBYs one45harlem.com

The BMT Task Force votes Thursday 7/17 on the plan, which is an abundance cornucopia of housing, infrastructure, commerce, and climate action Contact task force members below to support, especially Councilmember Shahana Hanif: [email protected] edc.nyc/brooklyn-marin…
