There is a rally/media event tomorrow (1/29) at 11AM at the Brooklyn office of the Department of City Planning (16 Court Street) to call for quick action on a downzoning of Carroll Gardens and for an interim moratorium on developments more than 50 feet tall. The rally was called by City Council Member Bill de Blasio, who represents Carroll Gardens and is also a candidate for Borough President next year. Mr. de Blasio will introduce a non-binding resolution in the City Council this week calling for the downzone and the moratorium. In any case, word of the rally has been added to our favorite low-tech community notification system, the Carroll Gardens Democracy Wall.

We are excited about working with City Planning on the downzoning. The rally is not at the office of City Planning- it will be on the steps of Boro Hall.
We look forward to seeing you there and working with City Planning on this issue.
