Here’s a look at the blocks in Gowanus that Toll Brothers is interested in completely redeveloping. Toll’s 605,380-square-foot development would run from the canal to Bond Street between Carroll and 2nd streets. As the photos show, most of the area in question ain’t all that pretty, but members of the community have started expressing deep reservations about Toll’s plans. Gowanus Lounge, which broke the news of Toll’s plans, has been covering the growing opposition to the development. Among the questions being asked: 1. Why should Toll Brothers get a jump on the larger rezoning of Gowanus? 2. Hey, isn’t this development in a flood plain? 3. How will Toll clean up festering toxic soil?
