What's Your Vision For 'Public Place' In Carroll Gardens?: Public Voice, Public Dream Mural Workshop At The Old Stone House

Our local elected Representatives envision a 774-unit,  mixed-income, mixed-use residential development for Public Place, the six acre brownfield site which runs along the Gowanus Canal and Smith Street.
But what do we, as the community want? What would our ideal Public Place look like?  Artist and Carroll Gardener Triada Samaras wants to incorporate our own vision into a Community Mural.

So they want to put more housing projects up!
Instead of letting the area grow naturally and letting the toxins dissipate.
Why would anyone even of moderate income live on top of a known carcinogen ?
Would Cancer be worth cheap rent?
People wake up!
