Brooklyn Bridge Park: The Timeline Emerges
Three “significant portions” — that’s part of phase 1, folks — of Brooklyn Bridge Park should be done by the end of 2009 (construction started in late October).

Three “significant portions” — that’s part of phase 1, folks — of Brooklyn Bridge Park should be done by the end of 2009 (construction started in late October). That’s the word from the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy (you can check out their latest newsletter here). Despite the tanking economy, two-thirds of the $47 million park will be open to the public by 2013. If we’re going by previous stats, it should be a hit: 270,000 visitors from around the world showed up last summer alone. Above you can see the proposed schedule. Last we checked, neighborhood issues still unresolved included some residents’ fears that the park will become a staging area for construction equipment (which will be nearby to fix the BQE) and grumblings that the beloved raised walkways in the park design had been removed. Oh, and maybe the golf balls from One Brooklyn Bridge Park’s terrace putting greens, too.
Nahhh…just plant some trees and open it, already. I stand by my comment.

randymcnally – this is a map of the first phase. The area north of the Manhattan bridge is in phase II – not eliminated.
wow they already eliminated the portion on the other side of the Manhattan Bridge which was included in earlier renderings…whats next? no ice rink…oh wait.
