Former Council Member and NYS Supreme Court Justice, Kathryn Freed: the latest on what’s been happening at the former 55 acre East River Park NYC demolished in the name of resiliency, felling hundreds of trees in this now desolate area. While new ballfields have been built, the lush environment has been replaced with mostly concrete and astroturf, with no shade and no water. And now the area along the lower East River particularly south of Houston Street provides no protection for the LES neighborhood against storm surges, flooding and weather disasters.
