As part of the 2005 Greenpoint Waterfront re-zoning, the MTA agreed in principle to move the vehicles so the City could convert the parking lot to a park, but it has taken 8 years to find a suitable replacement lot.

A DOG PARK!! Northern Greenpoint is grossly under serviced in this area considering it has one of the highest dog populations in the city! Plus, a proper dog park will help keep our streets clean. Check out Dog Alliance Within Greenpoint (DAWG), they are trying to do something about it.

honestly i’d rather keep the mta vehicles than have the sky blocked out by towers.
Dog Park!
a dog park / dog run. I have a dog and hate having to run her on community green property. I do, however, clean up after her if she does poop, which is more than some of our neighbors.
Closest dog park is either wburg, or the complete opposite side of greenpoint
This is the stupidest thing yet…..why in the hell would ANYONE want a park there? Sure, let’s put a park right by a homeless shelter where registered sex offenders live. The stupidity is astounding
It was promised to us in the 2005 re-zoning. If the city re-zones the area for high-rise residential towers on the waterfront, it must also provide more open space for those extra people. Too bad it can’t add a better police precinct, more firefighters, or a hospital.
