What we want from the new BPCA
Opinion
September 19, 2012 By Steven E Greer
With the departure of the Battery Park City Authority (BPCA) President and CEO Gayle Horwitz, and the similar unexpected departure of Bill Thompson as Chairman, the opportunity has arisen for some much needed reforms within the BPCA. For years, Gayle Horwitz has hosted dog and pony show “Town Hall” meetings, then proceeded to completely ignore the concerns of the community. In lock-step, some of the puppets on the Community Board 1 have been complicit enablers of the BPCA hand that feeds it. As a result, a long laundry list of problems in the BPCA await resolution by the new Chairman Dennis Mehiel and his boss Governor Cuomo.
BatteryPark.TV has compiled a list of the most urgent and important issues that the majority of the community would like to see addressed. The list is ranked according to importance and ease of resolution.
Better representation on the BPCA board:
Stop lights at West Thames and Rector:
Better patrolling by the PEP with more use of judgment and common sense:
A better bank that serves the unique needs of BPC:
A better grocery store:
An outdoor exercise path:
Changes to Pier A plans:
Better retail:
A cultural arts and music venue:
Various gripes with LeFrak:
Dog sewage in the streets:
New infrastructure projects:
Stop giving away our money:
