Carroll Gardens Patch had a story yesterday about the push to make the very small Carroll Gardens Historic District, shown above, larger. The story says that while the Carroll Gardens Neighborhood Association is most interested in having the district run contiguous to the current one, the LPC has initially studied ladmarking “the Place blocks, an area bounded by 1st Place and Court, Henry and Huntington streets.” The neighborhood association is developing a proposal to present to the LPC and intends to meet with the commission in the coming months. Thoughts on where the boundaries of an expanded historic district in Carroll Gardens should lie?
Plan To Extend Carroll Gardens Historic District Picks Up Steam [CG Patch]
The LPC roughly adds two districts a year. If anything, they don’t designate enough but that is in turn because of Bloomie and the city budget. So, the LPC designates easier neighborhoods that are not under much demolition threat or community opposition like Addisleigh Park.
Park Slope’s extended district and Bed-Stuy will be game changers in the coming year or so but right now, the LPC moves too slow and caters to the pockets of developers, not the preservationist organizations. It needs to get revamped but that won’t happen till Bloomie finally gets ousted.
