Marty Markowitz's Boardwalk plea for bailout
NY Daily News
By Elizabeth Hays
After years of delayed repairs, Markowitz is calling on the Bloomberg administration to use a large chunk of the city’s federal stimulus money to overhaul the entire crumbling, 3-mile promenade which runs from Sea Gate to Brighton Beach.
“The Boardwalk is an essential part of Coney Island and it’s deteriorating. It’s in horrible condition,” said Markowitz, who is also calling for some of the state’s money to go to the controversial Atlantic Yards arena/residential/commercial project.
NoLandGrab: The Coney Island Boardwalk is a publicly owned open space that has been neglected by the city and is badly in need of repair. Atlantic Yards is a planned $4 billion arena and highrise project with a smattering of publicly accessible privately owned open space and a "publicly owned" privately accessible arena to be leased to Ratner for $1.
Which do you think deserves federal bailout cash?
