The Mayor's Great Exception

The Mayor has some grand ideas for greening the city...with one exception - the area where Fort Greene, Prospect Heights and Park Slope meet. Its always the mayor's 'great exception' to every sensible environmental, urban planning and preservation principle in existance.

From a Municipal Arts Society NewsLetter:

PlaNYC 2030: A Fine Start The Municipal Art Society congratulates Mayor Bloomberg for his bold leadership and the unprecedented creativity he invested in PlaNYC 2030. Forward-looking proposals like congestion pricing, planting a million new trees in the city and the development of a public plaza in each community district are among the many thoughtful goals to begin planning for now


Hmm were is "public" (not publicly accessible) 'plaza' in the neighborhood Mr. Gehry claims they are creating from scratch? Where's the trees? the congestion pricing? The preventing of congestion in the first place?
