ATTENTION: ALL BROOKLYN HEIGHTS RESIDENTS IMPORTANT NOTICE – DO NOT SELL PINEAPPLE WALK MEETING – WEDNESDAY JANUARY 6, 2016
On Monday January 15th, cooperators from Whitman Owners (more commonly referred to as 75 Henry), will be voting to decide whether or not to investigate a proposal to sell the Park Plaza Diner – and other commercial spaces on Pineapple Walk – for the purpose of developing a 40-story high-rise tower and shopping complex. Since the decision whether or not to develop Pineapple Walk is in the hands of our friends and neighbors (and not a faceless, nameless landlord), it is our hope that those who live here will seriously consider the impact a 40-story tower, as well as the eviction of all the present businesses on Pineapple Walk, will have on the surrounding community. Our neighborhood is already dealing with over-crowded subway platforms during rush hour, a lack of public schools, and the loss of our local hospital. A 40-story tower would add hundreds of new people to our electrical grid, sewer system and garbage collection. Plus, hundreds of new cars to our streets.
As a means of opening up a serious dialogue, we would like everyone interested to join our open forum to discuss the development of Pineapple Walk, and what it will mean to our community:
DON’T SELL PINEAPPLE WALK
Open Forum Hosted by Cadman Towers
101 Clark Street – Community Room
Wednesday January 6th, 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Everyone is welcome – Don’t sell Pineapple Walk
