Calls for a CB6 Buildings Oversight Committee

cb6update.jpgSunset Park’s got one, so why can’t we? The sentiment was part of a call at last night’s Community Board 6 meeting to establish a buildings and construction subcommittee, a la the one on CB7. A number of board members noted it would make a lot of sense to have a group focused exclusively on construction issues since so much CB6 business involves scrutinizing new developments. CB6 Chair Richard Bashner said the board would look into the idea, which means it’s sure to be chewed on at upcoming meetings. While the proposal sounds like something of a no-confidence vote for the DOB, it seems like a reasonable enough notion for a community board whose neighborhoods include plenty of new construction (hello, Fourth Avenue). And hey, we hear that Park Slope is next to some project that’s supposed to be the largest in Brooklyn, or something.
