This Wednesday, March 4 at 9 am (note the early start time), the City Planning Commission will hold a public hearing. Among the items being heard are the following big projects:
- The Waterfront Text Amendment: a citywide zoning proposal that will affect public access to the waterfront, and implement design guidelines for waterfront areas.
- The Fordham Lincoln Center Master Plan: a multi-year, $1 billion proposed master plan to add 1.5 million square feet of academic, student activities and dormitory space at Fordham Univeristy’s Manhattan campus.
- Two Trees’ proposed development on Dock St. in DUMBO: This controversial project recently got approval from Brooklyn’s Community Board 2, largely because it includes a middle school. However, opponents say it will block historic views of the Brooklyn Bridge.
More information on procedure for what is sure to be a packed hearing is here.

It is entirely inappropriate to hold the March 4 City Planning meeting in the small space on Reade St. You should have arranged to have a much larger space.
If you can’t even plan for meetings, how can you plan for New York City?
Please comment.
Thank you.

Gary, Just want to make the distinction that we are not City Planning — if you want to contact them directly I would suggest doing so via their website: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/.
