Hot on the heels of news that progress on Brooklyn Bridge Park hasn’t exactly been moving quickly comes an email from the park’s conservancy about welcoming public input for the $150 million park’s future uses and programming. The conservancy is holding a meeting next Monday aimed at soliciting recommendations for the types of facilities, infrastructure and events the park should have, which it says is part of a year-long effort to develop a strategic plan for the site. “Brooklyn Bridge Park will be a regional park,” says BBP conservancy prez Marianna Koval, “not simply a spectacular front yard to the adjoining neighborhoods. How do we learn lessons from other urban parks and create a welcoming, active space with broad appeal, but also allow for passive enjoyment? It will no doubt be about balance.” No doubt. Suggestions for Koval and co.? The meeting will take place at Congregation Mt. Sinai at 250 Cadman Plaza West starting at 6:30 p.m.
