The Brooklyn Daily Eagle was on hand yesterday at the first of four community workshops to discuss ‘Fix the Ditch’ – an effort to “ameliorate the pollution, noise, vibration, and dust produced by the trench” of the nabe-dividing Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
…Workshop participants were assigned a small-group station and asked to consider the many photos attached to one wall labeled “Inspiration Board.” The photos ran the gamut from ancient pedestrian bridges to modern highways softened by green planted buffers. Sustainability elements included sponge greenery intended to soak up storm water and a highway surrounded by solar energy panels.
‘Sponge greenery?’ Sounds lovely, and much more appealing than what we have at present…
