Prospect Heights Patch
by Amy Sara Clark
We're here at Wednesday night's Arena Community Impacts Meeting organized by Park Slope/Boerum Hill Councilmember Levin will discuss sanitation and transportation issues. We'll be live blogging it (timeline is newest at the bottom).
6:19 p.m. There are about 40 people at the meeting, which is taking place in the basement of the Pacific Library.
The Department of Sanitation's Community Affairs Officer Iggy Terranova is discussing sanitation. Going to put one garage in charge of cleaning up around the arena (like one precinct will be responsible for policing it). They haven't determined which garage yet.
6:25: Question from an area resident: How do we get garbage cans that are not "rat feeding stations"? (He's referring to the regular mesh ones.)
Terranova: The only way to get a "high end" garbage can is if you get someone to sponsor it.
NoLandGrab: Shouldn't one cost of taking over half of Prospect Heights be that Forest City Ratner pays for the garbage cans?
