Pardon me for asking, but why was the city so secretive about the meetings? Why would it not send out the letter to more residents within the Gowanus area? PS 32's auditorium is large enough to hold many, no? Such nonsense just makes area residents more suspicious of the city's motives and does not inspire confidence in the administration's ability to keep an open dialog with the community. Thank goodness, news of the meeting spread throughout the neighborhood. City representatives have since stated that these meetings are NOT closed and that all local residents are welcome.
The EPA plans to attend. Thank goodness. At least, representatives of the federal agency will be on hand to dispel some of the City's spin. I, for one, hope that there will be a great turn-out to these meetings.
