Brooklyn Bridge Park Construction Finally Starts Today
After years of delays, officials say that permanent construction of Brooklyn Bridge Park, along the Dumbo–Brooklyn Heights waterfront, officially begins today and should be completed by the end of 2009. As for that plaza section right under the bridge, it may serve temporarily as a Greenmarket area and ice-skating rink while also being used for construction work on the bridge itself. Nice.
