Proposed Resolution on Thomas Greene Playground
Whereas the community has lost a significant number of mature trees recently, particularly with the construction of the high level storm sewer along Third Avenue and Carroll Street; and
Whereas the construction operations for a comprehensive and complete remediation of the coal tar under the Douglass & Degraw Pool in the Thomas Greene Playground [Park] could impact the approximately 30 mature and highly productive London Plane trees in and around the Park;
Resolved, that the EPA Gowanus Canal Community Advisory Group [CAG] requests that all regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the affected area and actions coordinate and manage the remediation to preserve a significant percentage of the London Plane trees in and around the Park.
