Zones & Zoom

I hope this email finds you well-fed, safe, and duly appreciative during this Friday famous for fanatical shopping.

I hope this email finds you well-fed, safe, and duly appreciative during this Friday famous for fanatical shopping.  

I’ll be brief, but I just want to remind folks that next week we have 2 CB6 associated meetings.

On Wednesday, December 2nd, we serve as the Zoom conduit for the Department of City Planning's next pre-certification meeting. It will be the same format as last week's DCP presentation. The difference is that, instead of a public place, the topic will be Gowanus Infrastructure improvements. You can join the hundreds already registered here. Unfortunately, at the same time, the Parks Department and & EPA will be giving an update on the Red Hook ball fields. You can register for that here, and I’ll share the information I get from both for you to absorb at your convenience.

On Thursday, December 3rd, we have a crowded agenda for our Landmarks/ Land Use committee meeting. It includes landmark items, a DCP presentation of an update on the proposed zoning text amendment Zoning for Coastal Flood Resiliency, and a ULURP application for a mixed-use site at 300 Huntington Street.

Lastly, the COVID-19 positive testing rate over the last seven days is up to 3.33%. So while I'm pessimistic given holiday travel and Supreme Court interference in public health matters, it has now become urgent that we take every possible precaution to get the rate to drop. Unless you hate your grandparents and/or really enjoyed the lockdowns of the spring, please take this seriously.

On that note, I recommend reading on below and have a good weekend!
