Published · New York time
Brooklyn’s new building application and Queens’ greenhouse funding are at different stages: one is a proposal, while the other has a state funding commitment. In Manhattan, track lighting has political support but still needs dedicated money.
The Bronx’s baseball news centers on Cody Bellinger’s defensive award. On Staten Island, a campus production announcement brings the performing-arts department’s first musical to the Lab Theatre.
East River track lighting wins five officials’ backing
A capital-funding commitment is still needed before the proposal can become construction work.
Five elected officials have asked the city to add permanent lights as it reconstructs the running facility at East River Park. Their October 27 letter went to the commissioners of Parks and Design and Construction.
Campaign organizers say dedicated city or state funding is the next hurdle. Incorporating lights into the current coastal-resiliency work would also require an agency change request.
