This is pretty cool. We received an email yesterday from the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative with information about a Request for Qualifications the non-profit had put out with the Regional Plan Association to identify designers for a small park it is planning to build along the Greenway on the site of the old Brooklyn Navy Yard Hospital, one of several “open space nodes” planned along the Greenway route. This RFQ is the first we’ve heard of this particular project—and, if completed, would represent the first reuse of the Hospital site that we are aware of. The park space is already spec’d out at 1.7 acres at the Southeast corner of the Hospital site, along Williamsburg Street West between Flushing and Kent Avenues. (You can check out a video we made of the Naval Hospital back in 2007 if you’d like to learn more.) The deadline for submissions is March 12th, but interested parties must submit a Notice of Intent to Respond by Monday. The briefing book is available here.
